Zheng Shuyi is the star journalist of the Financial Weekly. Having just lost an interview opportunity, Zheng Shuyi decided to improve her interview skills to better interview Shi Yan, the CEO of Mingyu Cloud Creation. However, her colleague informed her that the chief editor had recommended Xu Yuling to Mingyu Cloud Creation, and Zheng Shuyi had missed the chance to interview Shi Yan. Nevertheless, Zheng Shuyi believed that only with competence could she write outstanding articles. So, she decided to work diligently to enhance her interviewing skills.

On the other hand, Shi Yan received a notification for an exclusive interview from the Financial Journal. Shi Yan believed that an interview should be an inspiring conversation and reflection. He was not pleased with the journalist Xu Yuling recommended by the Financial Journal and preferred Zheng Shuyi's interview outline. Zheng Shuyi met with the chief editor, Tang Yi. Though she was disappointed she couldn't interview Shi Yan, she saw it as an opportunity to spend time with her boyfriend on his birthday. However, Tang Yi informed Zheng Shuyi that Mingyu Cloud Creation had ultimately chosen her to interview Shi Yan. Zheng Shuyi made the decision to forgo celebrating her boyfriend's birthday and instead seize the rare opportunity to interview Shi Yan.

Shi Yan reviewed his work schedule and had his assistant arrange the interview location for Zheng Shuyi at his family's old mansion. Zheng Shuyi and her colleagues gossiped about Shi Yan's past, realizing that he had never appeared in the media. They believed that securing exclusive video or audio content from Shi Yan for the electronic publication would attract many readers. Zheng Shuyi decided to demonstrate her ability to lead the electronic publication's upgrade to her superiors and secure the necessary resources for the new electronic publication through monetizing content.

Shi Yan met with Li Zong from Lanye Corporation to discuss business. While the two companies had a prior relationship, Shi Yan was dissatisfied with the proposed plan and believed that investment should be about acquiring future value. He hoped the other party could present a satisfactory plan to obtain Mingyu Cloud Creation's investment. Conversely, Shi Yan saw the core technology of Le'an Group and expressed an interest in investing in the company.

Because Guan Ji invited Shi Yan to Warner Mansion for a dinner and planned to introduce him to the financial expert Yu You, Shi Yan decided to attend the dinner, which required changing the interview time arranged with the Financial Journal. Zheng Shuyi called her boyfriend, Yue Xingzhou, and explained that she would be interviewing Shi Yan that evening, mentioning she had prepared for it for two months. Though Yue Xingzhou was somewhat disappointed, he ultimately supported Zheng Shuyi's dedication to her work. Zheng Shuyi was about to leave for the interview with Shi Yan when Shi Yan's assistant, Chen Sheng, informed her that the interview time had changed. Unwilling to miss the special feature in the next week's publication, Zheng Shuyi learned that Shi Yan's friend, Guan Ji, was hosting a dinner at Warner Mansion. She decided to pay a visit to Shi Yan.

Zheng Shuyi arrived at Warner Mansion, hoping that Shi Yan would find time to accept her interview. Chen Sheng relayed her request to Shi Yan, who regretfully informed her that he couldn't be interviewed that evening and arranged for a car to take Zheng Shuyi back. At the dinner, Zheng Shuyi overheard people discussing Yu You and found out that Yu You was about to become the youngest professor at the School of Economics. Due to menstrual discomfort, Yu You kindly brought her a cup of hot water. After exchanging a few words about economics, Zheng Shuyi took the opportunity to ask for Yu You's contact information. Shi Yan, prompted by Chen Sheng, spotted Zheng Shuyi but was unexpectedly interrupted by Guan Ji's arrival, causing Zheng Shuyi to miss her chance to meet Shi Yan.

During the dinner, Guan Ji introduced Yu You as the strategic advisor of the Guan family and facilitated the introduction between Yu You and Shi Yan. The three of them jokingly referred to themselves as the "Three Musketeers of Jiangcheng" and planned to collaborate for mutual success. Zheng Shuyi waited in the rain for her boyfriend, Yue Xingzhou, to pick her up. After the dinner, Shi Yan noticed that Zheng Shuyi had not left yet and intended to offer her a ride. However, Zheng Shuyi misunderstood his intentions and believed he was trying to strike up a conversation. She politely declined his offer, mentioning that she already had a boyfriend. After rejecting his offer, Zheng Shuyi realized that the person she had just met might be the Shi Yan she had been longing to interview, leading to regret.

Yue Xingzhou picked up Zheng Shuyi and apologized for not celebrating her birthday with her. He noticed a scent of perfume in the car but didn't misunderstand it. He assumed it was the scent used by his male friends. However, when Zheng Shuyi returned home, she discovered that she had left her phone in Yue Xingzhou's car. She tracked her phone's location and found it was at the hospital. Worried that something had happened to Yue Xingzhou, she rushed to the hospital, only to discover him kissing another woman at the hospital entrance, realizing that he had betrayed her.

After parting ways with his lover, Yue Xingzhou noticed the bracelet left by Zheng Shuyi by the car and realized that she had discovered his betrayal. He hurriedly went to find Zheng Shuyi. Upon returning home, Zheng Shuyi packed up her boyfriend Yue Xingzhou's belongings and waited for him to come and apologize. To her disappointment, when Yue Xingzhou arrived, he immediately suggested a breakup. Yue Xingzhou said he loved Zheng Shuyi, but he couldn't handle the current life of striving and didn't share her ambitions and ideals. His new lover came from a wealthy family, and he didn't need to put in much effort while being with her. It was then that Zheng Shuyi finally realized her boyfriend's shamelessness. She threw his belongings at him and kicked him out.

Devastated by the breakup, Zheng Shuyi called her friend Bi Ruoshan to vent about her ex-boyfriend, Yue Xingzhou. After sharing her feelings, Zheng Shuyi decided to turn her sorrow and anger into motivation. She planned to continue pursuing Shi Yan at work. But Zheng Shuyi still couldn't accept that she lost to a car. With Bi Ruoshan's comfort, Zheng Shuyi resolved to work hard to make Yue Xingzhou regret leaving her.

The next day, Zheng Shuyi visited the Financial Journal and informed the chief editor, Tang Yi, that she couldn't arrange a meeting with Shi Yan the previous night. She assured him that she would contact Chen Sheng to reschedule the interview. Tang Yi noticed Zheng Shuyi's exhausted appearance and, suspecting the reason, advised her to date someone more suitable. She had long believed that Zheng Shuyi and Yue Xingzhou were not a compatible couple, and breaking up was for the best.

To help Zheng Shuyi change her mood, Tang Yi arranged for her to interview Chen Kang from Le'an Technology. After completing the interview with Chen Kang, Zheng Shuyi felt hungry and went to a bakery. To her surprise, she saw Yue Xingzhou and his new girlfriend, Qin Lezhi, at the bakery. Qin Lezhi noticed Zheng Shuyi's presence and seemed to assert her dominance. Zheng Shuyi made a sarcastic comment about Qin Lezhi's interest in "secondhand goods."

Seeing Yue Xingzhou and Qin Lezhi made Zheng Shuyi very angry. Moments later, outside the bakery, she saw Shi Yan's car, which she mistakenly believed belonged to Qin Lezhi's uncle. Fueled by anger, Zheng Shuyi decided to interview Shi Yan and ensure that Yue Xingzhou would be unable to enter the Qin family's circle. On the other hand, Shi Yan had just finished arranging work matters when he saw Zheng Shuyi approaching his car and initiating a conversation. Zheng Shuyi was surprised to find Shi Yan inside the car, so she changed her statement and claimed she had come specifically to request an interview. However, Shi Yan declined her request and instructed her to contact his assistant to schedule an interview.

Tang Yi was worried that Zheng Shuyi might not be able to interview Shi Yan and had Xu Yuling modify the articles. If they couldn't secure the interview with Shi Yan, they would have to use Xu Yuling's articles in the next week's publication. Zheng Shuyi contacted Bi Ruoshan to gather information about Shi Yan's family relationships and found out that he indeed had a niece with the last name Qin. The Shi family was very protective of their privacy, and after Shi Yan left the family, media coverage of him had decreased significantly.

In the following days, Zheng Shuyi repeatedly tried to schedule an interview with Chen Sheng, but Shi Yan was busy working late into the night every day, and she couldn't secure an interview time. During a company meeting, Shi Yan brought up the topic of Lanye Corporation, which was met with opposition from the company's shareholders. The shareholders also wanted Shi Yan to disclose the relationship between Mingyu and Cloud Creation at the right time to showcase Cloud Creation's capabilities to the public.

Shi Yan completed his work for the week ahead of schedule and had Chen Sheng arrange a time for Zheng Shuyi to interview him during the next day's lunch break. Xu Yuling overheard Zheng Shuyi confirming the interview time with Shi Yan and, feeling jealous, privately took Zheng Shuyi's interview outline. Bi Ruoshan advised Zheng Shuyi to dress elegantly and attract Shi Yan's attention during the interview.

Xu Yuling arrived at Cloud Creation early to interview Shi Yan. Shi Yan mistakenly thought that Zheng Shuyi had something urgent and sent a colleague for the interview. When Xu Yuling showed Zheng Shuyi's interview outline, Shi Yan accepted the interview. Zheng Shuyi visited Cloud Creation and was surprised to see that Xu Yuling had already registered for the interview at the front desk. She inquired with Chen Sheng and learned that Xu Yuling had interviewed Shi Yan on her behalf.

At Cloud Creation, Zheng Shuyi encountered Shi Yan and requested another interview, citing five questions about Cloud Creation's future. After hearing her questions, Shi Yan agreed to continue the interview. Since Shi Yan was occasionally away, Zheng Shuyi conducted the interview during a two-hour car journey, which was acceptable to her.

During the journey, Zheng Shuyi and Shi Yan introduced themselves, officially getting to know each other. Zheng Shuyi then began recording the interview with Shi Yan. Towards the end of the interview, she asked whether Shi Yan's decision to leave Mingyu and establish Cloud Creation had been approved by his father. Back then, Shi Yan's father had wanted him to stay at Mingyu, but Shi Yan had handed over control of Mingyu to his brother-in-law and decided to venture out on his own. Eventually, his father understood and supported his decision, but Shi Yan preferred not to make this family matter public. As a result, he didn't provide a direct answer to Zheng Shuyi.

After the interview, Shi Yan asked Zheng Shuyi to leave. Zheng Shuyi, who had seen the remote and desolate area around the racecourse, decided to hitch a ride with Shi Yan instead. She intended to ask if Shi Yan had a girlfriend, but he didn't respond. Guan Xiangcheng unexpectedly saw Shi Yan with Zheng Shuyi and used the opportunity to engage in small talk with Zheng Shuyi. Zheng Shuyi took advantage of the situation and remained at the racetrack.

Guan Xiangcheng learned that Zheng Shuyi didn't know how to ride horses, so he lent her his wife's riding outfit. Zheng Shuyi planned to ask Shi Yan for help in fastening her belt as a way to get his attention. However, Shi Yan misinterpreted her actions as playful and left abruptly. Zheng Shuyi asked Shi Yan to teach her how to ride a horse, and they ended up riding together for a lesson. Shi Yan even intentionally spurred the horse to jump, scaring Zheng Shuyi, who ultimately gave up on horseback riding.

During their conversation, Guan Xiangcheng discussed business matters with Shi Yan. He advised Shi Yan to consider investing in Lanye Corporation, as the people at Lanye were old friends of his father. He believed there was no need for animosity and that Shi Yan could benefit from the relationship. However, Shi Yan insisted on staying focused on a single goal and not changing his principles for others' happiness. Guan Xiangcheng also mentioned that Qin Shimonth had returned to China and suggested trying his niece as a reporter since her major aligned with journalism. Shi Yan was initially skeptical about his less qualified niece becoming a reporter, but when he saw Zheng Shuyi's determination, he agreed to give Qin Shimonth a chance.

On their way back, Shi Yan asked the driver to drop Zheng Shuyi off at her home. Zheng Shuyi was surprised that Shi Yan didn't even offer to have a meal with her. She fell asleep in the car due to exhaustion, and when she woke up, she found that Shi Yan had left. She couldn't help but complain about his indifferent hospitality.

Lanye Corporation planned to acquire Le'an Technology for 50 million RMB. Shi Yan contacted Chen Kang from Le'an Technology and suggested a collaboration between Le'an and Cloud Creation to develop Chinese chips. However, Chen Kang believed that Le'an needed funding more than acquisition at the moment and continued to seek financial support. Shi Yan asked Chen Kang to take his time to consider, as he intended to move forward with the cooperation.

The next day, Zheng Shuyi handed over her interview transcript to Tang Yi. She also proposed including an audio recording of Shi Yan in the digital magazine to satisfy readers' curiosity about him. Tang Yi agreed to communicate with the chief editor to explore the possibility of Zheng Shuyi trying this in the magazine's upgrade.

Zheng Shuyi learned from her colleague that Xu Yuling not only interviewed Shi Yan but also stole her interview outline. Zheng Shuyi realized that Shi Yan knew her interview had been intercepted, and her outline had been stolen, making her feel embarrassed in front of him. While on the street, Zheng Shuyi ran into her ex-boyfriend, Yue Xingzhou. Yue Xingzhou not only boasted about his new car but also mentioned that he would be starting work at Mingyu in a few days. Bi Ruoshan couldn't stand his attitude and mocked him, leading to Yue Xingzhou leaving in frustration.

Bi Ruoshan helped Zheng Shuyi arrange a meeting with Situ Yi, for which Zheng Shuyi was very grateful. Zheng Shuyi had always aspired to upgrade the digital magazine, and she was determined not to give up on her career goals. Bi Ruoshan learned that Xu Yuling and Zheng Shuyi used the same interview outline to interview Shi Yan, so she understood that they needed new interview content to stand out. When she found out that Zheng Shuyi had left something in Shi Yan's car, Bi Ruoshan encouraged her to use it as an opportunity to get closer to him.

Zheng Shuyi called Chen Sheng to borrow his phone and contacted Shi Yan to search for her lost earring. She explained that the earring was essential to her, as it was a precious item passed down from her grandmother and part of her dowry. Shi Yan looked at the earring in his hand and jokingly commented on it being made of plastic. Nevertheless, he agreed to let Zheng Shuyi come and retrieve her earring, providing her with his location.

When Shi Yan returned home, he found his niece, Qin Shimonth, and instructed her to stay in his room and not come out. Zheng Shuyi visited Shi Yan's home and noticed a photo of Song Lelan, assuming that she was Shi Yan's idol. Zheng Shuyi speculated that there were internal disagreements within Cloud Creation regarding whether to invest in Le'an or Lanye. She noticed from the interview that Shi Yan was focused on Lanye Technology. Zheng Shuyi also understood that there were different opinions within Cloud Creation, and recently, she was conducting an interview with Chen Kang. She hoped to use the interview with Shi Yan as an opportunity to create an exclusive series of interviews. Zheng Shuyi saw Shi Yan, who looked handsome at home, making lemon water for her. She couldn't help but have a crush on him. She was surprised to learn that Shi Yan's niece was at home, so she decided to leave quickly to avoid a hasty encounter.

Qin Shimonth wanted to study abroad, stating that the whole family was earning money, and she had time and resources to enjoy life. She tried to come up with various excuses to avoid going to work, but Shi Yan firmly told her that the Shi family didn't support idleness, ultimately refusing her request.

While in the company restroom, Zheng Shuyi overheard Xu Yuling complaining about Tang Yi selecting her article. Xu Yuling believed that Zheng Shuyi used her charm to captivate Shi Yan, making his interview responses more valuable and leading to her losing her article. Zheng Shuyi informed Tang Yi about Xu Yuling stealing her article. Tang Yi stated that Zheng Shuyi had proven herself through her skills but advised her to be more forgiving, as she had a long way to go in Financial Digest.

Early in the morning, Shi Yan persuaded Qin Shimonth to go to work, even threatening to cut off some of her expenses if she didn't comply. Qin Shimonth had no choice but to agree. After their meal, Shi Yan specifically dropped off his niece at Financial Digest for work. Zheng Shuyi was assigned to mentor a new intern as soon as she arrived at the company, who turned out to be Qin Shimonth. Zheng Shuyi didn't know Qin Shimonth's true identity and assumed she was a wealthy second-generation individual. When she saw Tang Yi specifically asking her to mentor the intern, she reluctantly agreed to help.

Xu Yuling scheduled an interview with Guan Ji, hoping to use the interview as an opportunity to contact Shi Yan. Qin Shimonth, forced to go to work, called Guan Ji for help, but he couldn't do much and advised Qin Shimonth to relax and focus on her job. Xu Yuling initially intended to obtain Guan Ji's contact information during the interview, but Guan Ji saw through her intentions and naturally found an excuse to refuse.

Qin Shimonth gave Zheng Shuyi a gift, hoping for her favor, but Zheng Shuyi declined the gift and assigned her some work. She also asked Qin Shimonth to report to her before leaving work. Shi Yan learned that Mingyu lent money to Lanye, and due to the company's financial problems, they decided to agree to Lanye's acquisition. After hearing this, Shi Yan rushed to persuade Chen Kang to consider the long-term development of Le'an Technology before deciding on cooperation with Lanye. Shi Yan understood Le'an's financial difficulties and presented his investment plan, intending to invest in Le'an Technology in stages. His cooperative attitude impressed Chen Kang, and Chen Kang ultimately decided to give Shi Yan time to continue the cooperation.

After work, Xu Yuling introduced the intern she was mentoring to everyone. Zheng Shuyi couldn't help but notice the difference between Qin Shimonth, the intern she was mentoring, and the one Xu Yuling was mentoring. She consoled herself by thinking that comparisons would only lead to harm. After a day at work, Qin Shimonth returned home and complained to her grandfather about the exhaustion of working. She pretended to be a victim, claiming that her supervisor was unwilling to teach her. When Shi Yan learned that Zheng Shuyi was Qin Shimonth's supervisor, he advised Qin Shimonth to learn from Zheng Shuyi and not to overemphasize her victimization.

During dinner, Shi Yan and his father discussed the company's operation issues. Shi Yan's father mentioned that the uncles from Mingyu used to be intelligent and had their own ideas, even though Shi Yan's ideas now differed from theirs. Even if they couldn't be of assistance, they shouldn't become obstacles on Shi Yan's path forward.

Zheng Shuyi's article passed the final editorial review, but Shi Yan was dissatisfied and didn't approve it. Zheng Shuyi had to make several revisions to her interview transcript, but it was repeatedly returned for further modifications. Tang Yi urged Zheng Shuyi to find a way to make Shi Yan happy, as the deadline for submission was approaching quickly.

Shi Yan and Yu You went rock climbing together, and he used the opportunity to ask Yu You to contact his former colleague, Bruce, in the hope of inviting Bruce to work at Cloud Creation. Shi Yan knew that Le'an was currently facing technical challenges, and he believed that Bruce could help solve them. He asked Yu You for assistance. Afterward, Yu You contacted Bruce and secured an opportunity for Bruce to meet Shi Yan. However, persuading Bruce to stay and help Le'an with its technical challenges would depend on Shi Yan's persuasiveness.

Zheng Shuyi obtained Shi Yan's phone number from Tang Yi, but she couldn't reach him despite multiple attempts. She decided to contact Chen Sheng to help her reach Shi Yan, but Chen Sheng relayed Shi Yan's message that he wouldn't discuss personal matters during work hours and declined the meeting with Zheng Shuyi. Zheng Shuyi realized that she had a valid reason to meet Shi Yan both professionally and personally since she needed to discuss modifying her article and retrieve her earring. On the other hand, after finishing his work, Shi Yan saw that it was getting late and decided to return home to wait for someone to arrive.

Shi Yan just returned to the residential area when he saw Zheng Shuyi. He pretended not to know her intentions and asked why she had come. Zheng Shuyi believed that Shi Yan had rejected her article three times just to see her. Shi Yan denied wanting to meet Zheng Shuyi and instead pointed out the issues in her three drafts. Zheng Shuyi acknowledged the issues in her article and hoped that Shi Yan could provide suggestions to help her revise it.

Based on Shi Yan's feedback, Zheng Shuyi continued to revise her article, and Shi Yan specifically asked her to come to his home for the revisions. Zheng Shuyi, while making revisions at Shi Yan's home, noticed that he was not moved by her beauty, which left her somewhat disheartened. To persuade her uncle, Qin Shimonth bought a bottle of good wine and hoped that it would help. However, when she called Shi Yan, she learned that he was not available to meet her. Guan Ji speculated that Shi Yan was entertaining someone, and Qin Shimonth marveled at her uncle's blossoming love life.

After a series of revisions, Shi Yan approved Zheng Shuyi's article due to the late hour. Elated, Zheng Shuyi suggested that Shi Yan consider her for a special feature interview. She also hoped to have her article published in the electronic magazine of Finance Digest. With the article issue resolved, Shi Yan seized the opportunity to ask Zheng Shuyi if her boyfriend had any objections to her returning home so late. Zheng Shuyi straightforwardly explained that she had broken up with her boyfriend the same day she met Shi Yan and inquired if it was possible for her to pursue him. Confronted with Zheng Shuyi's bold confession, Shi Yan became nervous.

Qin Shimonth visited her uncle's home and happened to see Zheng Shuyi leaving in a hurry. However, she did not suspect that Zheng Shuyi was the one having a secret relationship with her uncle. Later, Zheng Shuyi shared her encounter with Shi Yan with Bi Ruoshan, expressing her disappointment that Shi Yan kicked her out after her confession. Bi Ruoshan commented that Shi Yan was very immature and typical of someone who denied their feelings the more they liked someone. She even speculated that Shi Yan rejected Zheng Shuyi's drafts on purpose to get closer to her, suggesting that Shi Yan might already have feelings for Zheng Shuyi.

On the other hand, Qin Shimonth was surprised that Shi Yan had left after inviting someone for drinks, thinking that her uncle didn't understand romance. She advised him to learn from Guan Ji's techniques in pursuing someone and to be more proactive. Zheng Shuyi realized that Shi Yan had not rejected her request to pursue him. In the evening, she bombarded Shi Yan with text messages.

Zheng Shuyi realized that securing the Guan family was a crucial step for Mingyu's Cloud Creation. Since the Guan family's invitation to Yu You to return to China was undoubtedly related to cooperation, Yu You's professional insights were essential to the Guan family. Zheng Shuyi planned to meet with Yu You to potentially gain insights into Cloud Creation's future development.

Shi Yan invited Yu You for a shooting session and took the opportunity to discuss Bruce with him. Yu You mentioned that Bruce enjoyed excitement, adventure, and challenges, making it clear that the terms and conditions were not his primary considerations. He suggested that Shi Yan choose interesting and challenging topics to persuade Bruce to return to China for employment. Zheng Shuyi called Yu You to ask for advice, and Shi Yan overheard the conversation, feeling somewhat jealous.

Xu Yuling came to Tang Yi's office to submit her article, aiming for a front-page story this week. However, Zheng Shuyi had not received the final response from Cloud Creation yet. Tang Yi had to inform her that if Cloud Creation did not respond by midnight, Xu Yuling's article would be published on the front page of Finance Digest. Zheng Shuyi contacted Shi Yan, hoping he would approve the final draft soon, but Shi Yan, out of jealousy, intentionally did not respond to Zheng Shuyi. As a result, the entire Finance Digest department was working overtime, awaiting the approval of Zheng Shuyi's article.

Zheng Shuyi sent a message to inquire if Shi Yan had been jealous earlier. Shi Yan naturally denied being jealous. Following the advice of her friend, Bi Ruoshan, Zheng Shuyi decided to ignore Shi Yan for a few days. She believed that doing so would make him unable to figure her out and possibly pique his interest.

Zheng Shuyi continued to send Shi Yan down-to-earth love messages. Although Shi Yan checked Zheng Shuyi's messages and felt delighted, he didn't reply specifically. Bi Ruoshan was fixated on Guan Ji, making him wonder what she was looking at. When he asked, Bi Ruoshan said she wanted to see what made Guan Ji different, but she was taken aback when Guan Ji kindly helped her fasten her seatbelt.

During the Qin Dynasty, Yue Yue felt dizzy at the press conference, so she purposely left the venue for some fresh air. During the break, He Boming, a reporter from the Jiangcheng Daily, came over to greet Zheng Shuyi and they exchanged WeChat contacts. This scene made Shi Yan extremely jealous, and he immediately called Zheng Shuyi over. Zheng Shuyi suspected that Shi Yan was jealous, so she approached him with enthusiasm. To her surprise, Shi Yan was inquiring about the whereabouts of Qin Shimoon. Zheng Shuyi contacted Qin Shimoon and deliberately told Shi Yan that she had already left. She did this because she found Shi Yan's presence terrifying, unlike herself, who felt ecstatic and overjoyed when seeing him.

Qin Shimoon unexpectedly encountered Yu You in the lobby and was charmed by his elegant demeanor.

The second half of the Yun Chuang press conference officially began, and Qin Shimoon learned that Yu You was actually a strategic advisor for the Guan Capital, which made her admire him even more. However, Zheng Shuyi noticed that Shi Yan had been closely following Qin Shimoon. After the press conference, she left angrily. To her surprise, outside the venue, she saw Qin Shimoon acting cute with Shi Yan. Filled with jealousy, Zheng Shuyi hastily left.

Shi Yan followed Zheng Shuyi to the parking lot and, seeing her discomfort, he directly held her hand and offered to drive her home. Zheng Shuyi fell asleep in Shi Yan's car again and woke up at her doorstep. To express her gratitude for the ride, she invited Shi Yan to have dinner, but he declined her invitation when he found out that Zheng Shuyi wanted to discuss a special interview.

Feeling frustrated, Zheng Shuyi and Shi Yan initially planned to go out for drinks with their friends, but Bi Ruoshan and Guan Ji both declined simultaneously, unaware that they were together at the moment. Zheng Shuyi's interview received praise from the editor-in-chief, and her colleagues teased her to treat them to dinner, to which she happily agreed.

Qin Shimoon realized that she had misunderstood the situation on her first day at work when Zheng Shuyi ignored her. She had even complained to Shi Yan in her anger. She felt guilty for this and wanted to apologize to Zheng Shuyi. However, she was hesitant to do it herself and thought of asking her uncle Shi Yan for help. Unfortunately, Shi Yan's words hurt her, so she swallowed her pride and went to apologize to Zheng Shuyi.

Zheng Shuyi was concerned about the relationship between Qin Shimoon and Shi Yan. She had developed some feelings for Shi Yan, and Bi Ruoshan advised her that Shi Yan was destined to live on the edge. If a relationship couldn't last, it might be better not to start it. However, Zheng Shuyi believed in following her heart when it came to relationships.

Zheng Shuyi bought tickets for Song Lelan's concert and initially planned to invite Shi Yan via WeChat. However, Qin Shimoon added Zheng Shuyi on WeChat to apologize, leading Zheng Shuyi to mistakenly think it was Shi Yan. She directly invited Qin Shimoon to attend Song Lelan's concert, and Qin Shimoon agreed, making Zheng Shuyi very happy. Guan Ji saw news about Song Lelan's 25th-anniversary concert and wanted to go with Bi Ruoshan. After considering Zheng Shuyi's words, Bi Ruoshan decided to follow her heart in matters of love and agreed to attend Song Lelan's concert with Guan Ji.

Zheng Shuyi dressed up beautifully and arrived at the concert venue, waiting for Shi Yan. To her surprise, Qin Shimoon appeared in front of her and mentioned that she had invited her to watch the concert. Zheng Shuyi realized that she had mistaken the WeChat name and felt regretful about her carelessness. However, she had no choice but to attend the concert with Qin Shimoon. What Zheng Shuyi didn't expect was that Shi Yan was also at the concert.

During the concert, Zheng Shuyi and Qin Shimoon talked about Zheng Shuyi's past experience with a "scumbag" who cared more about money than the person. It turned out that the scumbag had a wealthy uncle, and Qin Shimoon wholeheartedly supported Zheng Shuyi pursuing this wealthy uncle.

After the concert, Qin Shimoon unexpectedly saw Yu You and decided to ask her mother, Song Lelan, for a few limited-edition albums to give to him. Yu You also noticed Zheng Shuyi, and they scheduled an interview for the next week. This led Shi Yan, who had seen them together at the concert, to believe they were planning to attend the concert together.

Shi Yan, feeling jealous, initially didn't want to pay attention to Zheng Shuyi, who was taking a taxi alone. However, when he saw Zheng Shuyi stumble, he couldn't help but drive her to the hospital. Zheng Shuyi intentionally pretended to be unable to walk due to foot pain, hoping to make Shi Yan feel sympathetic. However, she accidentally overheard Shi Yan and the doctor complaining about her, which made her feel cold-hearted. As a result, the nurse used a wheelchair to take her out of the hospital. Zheng Shuyi was unable to enjoy being carried like a princess by Shi Yan because she didn't want to reveal that her foot injury was not serious due to her fear of cats.

On their way back, Guan Ji contacted Shi Yan about getting in touch with his ex-girlfriend for a film. Shi Yan directly criticized his ex-girlfriend's acting skills, which made Zheng Shuyi feel particularly embarrassed. After dropping Zheng Shuyi at home, Shi Yan went to have dinner with his sister Song Lelan and his mother. From Qin Shimoon, he learned that Zheng Shuyi had invited her to the concert that evening. Shi Yan realized that he had misunderstood Zheng Shuyi and Yu You. Qin Shimoon, noticing Shi Yan's changed attitude, suspected that her uncle was in love and decided to find out the identity of his love interest.

Zheng Shuyi asked Shi Yan about the medical expenses for the hospital visit, and Shi Yan took the opportunity to add her on WeChat. Zheng Shuyi, acting coquettish, wanted Shi Yan to invite her for dinner the next day. However, Shi Yan, thinking about the upcoming party, decided to have Zheng Shuyi be his companion for the event.

The next day, while shopping for her outfit for the party, Zheng Shuyi unexpectedly bumped into her ex-boyfriend Yue Xingzhou and his girlfriend, Qin Leyi. She informed Qin Shimoon of this, who promptly came to support her. Zheng Shuyi and Qin Leyi tried on the same outfit in a store. Zheng Shuyi looked even better in it because of her fair complexion and slender figure. This infuriated Qin Leyi. To assert herself, Qin Leyi asked Yue Xingzhou to buy all the clothes she wanted. Qin Shimoon arrived at the clothing store to support Zheng Shuyi and decided to purchase the outfits Zheng Shuyi had tried on, which left Qin Leyi even more frustrated.

When Zheng Shuyi returned home, she was met by Shi Yan, who complimented her on how beautiful she looked that day, making Zheng Shuyi feel delighted. It was only after arriving at the party location that Zheng Shuyi realized that she was accompanying Shi Yan to a family gathering of an elder. Her presence led many people to speculate that she might be Shi Yan's new girlfriend.

Qin Leyi was displeased that Yue Xingzhou hadn't purchased the clothes for her. Yue Xingzhou explained that he was saving for the future and promised to buy her the clothes she wanted once he started working at Ming Yu. After seeing Zheng Shuyi again, Yue Xingzhou became conflicted and reached out to her, causing Zheng Shuyi to feel troubled about her scumbag ex-boyfriend once again.

Zheng Shuyi unexpectedly heard rumors at a party about Shi Yan being downcast after being dumped by his ex-girlfriend Beilin, and people speculating that she was interested in Shi Yan because of his family background. This made Zheng Shuyi feel frustrated. Shi Yan, who was escorting Zheng Shuyi home, noticed her unhappiness and asked her about the reason. Zheng Shuyi candidly admitted that she had heard some gossip about Shi Yan today but didn't believe any of it. She also honestly expressed her desire to get to know Shi Yan better, which made Shi Yan even more interested. In the ambiguous atmosphere, Shi Yan wanted to kiss Zheng Shuyi, but they were interrupted by a patrolling security guard, leaving Zheng Shuyi embarrassed.

Zheng Shuyi called Bi Ruoshan to share the day's events. Bi Ruoshan believed that it's in a man's nature to conquer and advised Zheng Shuyi to make Shi Yan feel like he's also being noticed by other men, which would make him take the initiative. Guan Ji, seeing Bi Ruoshan's love advice to her friend, asked her if she wasn't afraid of someone genuinely falling for her. Bi Ruoshan confidently replied that she was only worried about not being able to break free from the other person.

Shi Yan held a meeting to evaluate the possibility of investing in Zhanlan. The evaluation department believed that although there was a risk in this investment, it would be profitable for Yun Chuang. The shareholders of Yun Chuang also had high hopes for Zhanlan's development. While Shi Yan had some reservations, seeing everyone's optimism about solid-state batteries in this field, he decided to continue with the research and evaluation. Privately, Shi Yan discussed this investment with Guan Ji and Yu You, expressing his belief that Zhanlan would primarily use the investment to expand production rather than focus on technology research. He planned to personally investigate the situation.

Zheng Shuyi's mother called her and arranged a blind date for the weekend. Although Zheng Shuyi had specific requirements for her potential date, she was surprised to find that her mother's choice happened to match her criteria. Seeing the WeChat profile sent by her mother, Zheng Shuyi realized it was Yu You, and she agreed to meet him as friends.

Tang Yi assigned the task of completing the next month's financial headline to Zheng Shuyi and Xu Yuling to work on together. Despite their differences, they accepted the chief editor's arrangement. Tang Yi privately talked to Zheng Shuyi, hoping she would focus on the role of the deputy chief editor. However, Zheng Shuyi's goal was to upgrade the electronic journal, which required a significant amount of resources and personnel. Tang Yi urged her to do well with the financial headline at the year-end and the new year, promising to help with her suggestions to the editor-in-chief.

Zheng Shuyi met Yu You for their blind date on the weekend, and Yu You didn't expect her to be the date. Yu You initially wanted to invite Zheng Shuyi for dinner, but she declined, citing other plans. Shi Yan asked Zheng Shuyi to pick up her clothes she had left in his car, and Zheng Shuyi playfully asked Shi Yan for help, but he refused, claiming to be too busy. Learning that Zheng Shuyi intended to come personally, Shi Yan hastily returned home and prepared dinner.

Qin Shi Yue called Shi Yan to have dinner at home, but he claimed to have other plans and didn't want to go. His father asked if he was dating an actress, to which Shi Yan explained that the person he was seeing was not an actress but had a strong desire to perform. Just as Shi Yan finished preparing dinner, Zheng Shuyi arrived at his home. She enjoyed the meal tremendously but didn't realize that it was Shi Yan who had prepared it. Tang Yi had an assignment for Zheng Shuyi, so after the meal, she hurriedly left, taking her clothes.

Tang Yi arranged for Zheng Shuyi to go on a business trip to Wucheng to attend an international forum. Before the trip, Zheng Shuyi returned the clothes that Qin Shi Yue had bought to support her. After learning that Zheng Shuyi had once interviewed Yu You, Qin Shi Yue secretly went to the university to listen to Yu You's lecture. After class, Qin Shi Yue approached Yu You, requested to add him on WeChat, and mentioned that she was an intern journalist for "Cai Jing Jie." She explained that she came to attend his lecture to learn about finance. While Yu You noticed Qin Shi Yue being distracted during the lecture, he didn't suspect her true intentions for attending the finance class.

Because Zheng Shuyi had left Shi Yan's home in a hurry last time, he was somewhat upset with her and refused to talk to her. She consulted Bi Ruoshan, who advised her to take pictures of anything interesting and post them on her social media, subtly indicating to Shi Yan that she was away on a business trip.

Shi Yan received a refund message, and Qin Shi Yue informed him that Zheng Shuyi had returned the clothes she bought. Qin Shi Yue also mentioned that Zheng Shuyi was on a business trip in Wucheng. Bi Ruoshan, who was also on a business trip to Wucheng, initially intended to meet with Guan Ji. However, Bi Ruoshan declined, claiming she wasn't in Jiang City, and she hung up on Guan Ji, leaving him very frustrated.

Guan Xiangcheng saw Zheng Shuyi's previous interview with Shi Yan and praised her writing skills. Guan Xiangcheng noticed that Zheng Shuyi had changed Shi Yan's perception of the media, giving Shi Yan a chance to invite Zheng Shuyi to his home for a chat. As the first snow fell in Wucheng, Bi Ruoshan took beautiful photos of Zheng Shuyi and posted them with a WeChat status about making a wish in the first snow, believing this would definitely make Shi Yan come to Wucheng.

Shi Yan checked Zheng Shuyi's social media and took the initiative to contact her. He also mentioned that Guan Xiangcheng wanted to meet her. Zheng Shuyi learned that Guan Xiangcheng was willing to be interviewed by her and promptly decided to return to Jiang City. Bi Ruoshan sensed that Guan Xiangcheng's interview was just an excuse to get Zheng Shuyi back to Jiang City and initially wanted to advise Zheng Shuyi to be more reserved. Still, Zheng Shuyi was determined to interview Guan Xiangcheng and quickly booked a flight for the following day.

On her way to Guan Xiangcheng's home, Zheng Shuyi was rear-ended in a car accident. Shi Yan found out and rushed to pick up Zheng Shuyi. The car she was in had a battery issue, and it happened to be a product of Zhanlan Technology. Xu Yuling contacted the vice presidents of three banks for an interview and wanted Tang Yi to give her the headline for this month. Tang Yi soon learned about Zheng Shuyi's interview with Guan Xiangcheng. She called Guan Xiangcheng to ask why he had agreed to the interview with "Cai Jing Jie," to which he replied that he admired Zheng Shuyi's sharp writing skills, which prompted him to arrange a meeting.

During the interview at Guan Xiangcheng's home, Zheng Shuyi and Guan Xiangcheng had an engaging conversation, losing track of time. Eventually, Shi Yan reminded them to have dinner together. During the meal, Zheng Shuyi learned from Guan Xiangcheng about Shi Yan's childhood interest in horseback riding, which allowed her to inquire more about Shi Yan's past. Guan Xiangcheng was very knowledgeable about Shi Yan, knowing that he was someone who kept everything to himself. After the Mingyu incident, Shi Yan had taken care of everything before starting Yun Chuang and handing the company over to his brother-in-law. In fact, Shi Yan had sacrificed more than anyone else. Guan Xiangcheng also advised Zheng Shuyi that Shi Yan was not a talkative person, suggesting she chat with him more.

During the conversation, Zheng Shuyi playfully brought up how Shi Yan had been staring at a beautiful female reporter during Yun Chuang's product launch. Shi Yan explained that he was just teasing Zheng Shuyi, and she had to playfully ask him to help peel the shrimp for her. However, Shi Yan declined, so Zheng Shuyi ended up peeling the shrimp herself and feeding it to him, which made Shi Yan very happy.

After the meal, Zheng Shuyi mentioned that she had prepared a special feature proposal for Yun Chuang. Seeing Zheng Shuyi intentionally trying to gain sympathy in front of him, Shi Yan agreed to let her conduct a special interview for Yun Chuang but also laid out some conditions. Zheng Shuyi, seeing her wish fulfilled, agreed to all the terms.

The old shareholders of Yun Chuang were highly in favor of investing in Zhanlan Technology. Due to issues with accidents involving new energy vehicles, there was a risk in investing in solid-state batteries. Shi Yan believed that substantial research and reports were necessary for this investment in the solid-state battery industry. He pointed out that although Zhanlan had a significant market share, they were still using last year's technology for their batteries, and there had been no updates. If accident rates became high in the future, investing in Zhanlan might not be a safe choice.

Tang Yi told Xu Yuling that she couldn't have the front-page feature for this month because Zheng Shuyi had already submitted the preliminary interview about Guan Xiangcheng earlier today. Given Guan Xiangcheng's status, the editor naturally reserved the front page for this interview. Xu Yuling couldn't understand how Zheng Shuyi managed to persuade Guan Xiangcheng. She believed that Zheng Shuyi had lost her integrity in her pursuit of the front page. Tang Yi, who knew Zheng Shuyi's character, advised Xu Yuling not to make baseless accusations.

Because she lost the opportunity for the front page, Xu Yuling accused Zheng Shuyi of targeting her, suspecting that she used her beauty to seduce someone to interview Guan Xiangcheng. Zheng Shuyi was not angry and instead believed that if she did use her looks, Xu Yuling wouldn't have the chance to say such things to her now.

Tang Yi learned that Shi Yan had authorized Zheng Shuyi to publish the Yun Chuang special interview in the e-magazine. Tang Yi agreed to let Zheng Shuyi give it a try in the e-magazine, with the possibility of continuing if it did well. Qin Shiyue, her mother, and her uncle gathered for a family meal. During the meal, she discussed the events that happened at the office today. From Qin Shiyue's words, Shi Yan learned that Zheng Shuyi was very popular, and male colleagues often tried to woo her at the company. Shi Yan felt a sense of crisis and, coincidentally, Zheng Shuyi invited him to have a meal over the weekend as a way to thank him. Shi Yan agreed to dine together on the weekend.

Zheng Shuyi got ready to meet Shi Yan for their appointment over the weekend. However, her mother unexpectedly arrived and took her out to have dinner with Yu You. Zheng's mother praised Yu You highly during the meal and continuously tried to matchmake Zheng Shuyi and Yu You. Qin Shiyue originally wanted to watch a movie with Yu You over the weekend, but Yu You used spending time with his elders as an excuse to decline. Qin Shiyue then asked Zheng Shuyi to watch a movie together, but Zheng Shuyi said she had to be with her mother, which left Qin Shiyue very frustrated.

Zheng Shuyi had planned to meet Shi Yan after dinner but her mother stayed back, using the excuse of taking a walk, and left her with Yu You. Her mother even bought movie tickets for them to watch together, which made Zheng Shuyi feel helpless. Zheng Shuyi had to send an apology text to Shi Yan, explaining the situation, and hoped they could have dinner another time.

Although Qin Shiyue watched the movie alone, she took the opportunity to explain the movie's content to Yu You as they messaged. Yu You unexpectedly discovered that Qin Shiyue was watching the same movie at the same time. After the movie ended, Zheng Shuyi also unexpectedly saw Qin Shiyue, and to avoid revealing her plans, she quietly left the cinema.

Qin Shiyue met Yu You at the cinema's entrance and didn't realize that the person watching the movie with her was Yu You. She decided to ask Yu You to give her a ride home, and the gentlemanly Yu You didn't refuse. While in Yu You's car, Qin Shiyue found some lipstick and thought it belonged to his girlfriend, but Yu You didn't clarify the misunderstanding.

When Zheng Shuyi got home, she found Shi Yan waiting in her residential area. Shi Yan overheard her phone conversation with her mother and asked her who she had spent the day with. Faced with Shi Yan's intimidating presence, Zheng Shuyi had a brief fantasy of being pinned to the wall by him. She had to lie to Shi Yan and claim that she had watched a movie with her mother before hurrying home.

Zheng Shuyi's interview with Guan Xiangcheng received an overwhelmingly positive response from the public. Even Shi Yan's brother-in-law wanted to be interviewed. In response, Shi Yan asked Chen Sheng to contact Zheng Shuyi to schedule the interview. However, due to Zheng Shuyi's busy schedule preparing for the special feature, she recommended her colleague Nannan to conduct the interview. Because of the success of Zheng Shuyi's interview, many people wanted to schedule interviews through Tang Yi, and Tang Yi asked Zheng Shuyi to coordinate these interviews.

Qin Shiyue attended one of Yu You's lectures again. She had hoped to have dinner with Yu You after the lecture but was declined due to Yu You's prior engagement, which left Qin Shiyue feeling very disappointed. Back at work, Xu Yuling accused Qin Shiyue of being careless and deliberately assigned her difficult tasks. Feeling overwhelmed, Qin Shiyue had to work overtime. Feeling aggrieved, she complained to Shi Yan that the workload was too much, and she wanted to resign.

Qin Shiyue saw on her friend's social media that Yu You was playing basketball at the sports field. To understand her competition, she decided to go to the sports field after work to find Yu You. She invited Yu You to have dinner together and expressed her intention to seek relationship advice. Yu You, citing his age as a reason, declined Qin Shiyue's invitation.

Zheng Shuyi noticed that Qin Shiyue was worried about the work assigned by Xu Yuling. After understanding the situation, Zheng Shuyi explained that writing articles involved expressing one's own views and engaging with readers, rather than simply parroting others' opinions. Zheng Shuyi advised Qin Shiyue to have her own judgment regarding what others said and not blindly follow directives. She helped Qin Shiyue improve her initial draft.

With Zheng Shuyi's guidance, Qin Shiyue managed to complete the article before leaving work. Zheng Shuyi praised Qin Shiyue for her quick understanding, making Qin Shiyue very happy. Shi Yan, hearing from Qin Shiyue, learned that Zheng Shuyi was working late and purposely came to the magazine office to pick her up after work.

As Zheng Shuyi left the magazine office, she coincidentally encountered a dessert shop worker she knew, who specially brought her some dessert. When Shi Yan saw Zheng Shuyi being so popular, he felt jealous and, without hesitation, embraced Zheng Shuyi to show his possessiveness. He even transferred the payment to the dessert shop worker. Xu Yuling, who unexpectedly saw Shi Yan picking up Zheng Shuyi after work, began to suspect that there might be something going on between the two.

Seeing that Zheng Shuyi was hungry, Shi Yan proposed taking her out for dinner. Zheng Shuyi took him to a seafood noodle restaurant she liked. While enjoying their meal, Zheng Shuyi unexpectedly spotted her ex-boyfriend, Yue Xingzhou, dining with friends. Zheng Shuyi had to make an excuse to leave temporarily. Surprisingly, Shi Yan overheard Yue Xingzhou's conversation with his friends and learned that Yue Xingzhou was Zheng Shuyi's ex-boyfriend.

Because of the encounter with her ex-boyfriend, Zheng Shuyi lost her appetite and had to endure hunger while accompanying Shi Yan. After Shi Yan dropped Zheng Shuyi off at her home, he went back to the restaurant to get a serving of seafood noodles for her, which made Zheng Shuyi feel touched by his thoughtfulness. Zheng Shuyi thanked Shi Yan for his kindness, and he reminded her not to go hungry for unimportant people in the future.

Xu Yuling, realizing the connection between Zheng Shuyi and Shi Yan, proactively brought coffee for Zheng Shuyi and was accommodating at work. This change in behavior made everyone uncomfortable. As the year-end approached for the magazine, Tang Yi inquired about Zheng Shuyi's plans for the interns. Zheng Shuyi, seeing that Qin Shiyue had developed basic writing skills, planned to work with her on the special feature about Yun Chuang. However, Qin Shiyue felt that her abilities were not yet sufficient to handle the special feature and offered to assist with other tasks.

After noticing students hiring others to take notes in his class, Yu You called Qin Shiyue to ask her not to arrange for note-taking services. He explained that the content of his current lectures was foundational and that she could study on her own at home when she had the time. When Qin Shiyue's article turned out to be highly critical, Tang Yi initially wanted her to revise and refine it. However, Qin Shiyue insisted that this was the kind of article that had viewpoints, attitude, and factual accuracy, and she refused to make changes. Upon hearing about this, Zheng Shuyi praised Qin Shiyue for her understanding and shared the story with Shi Yan.

Zheng Shuyi brought up Qin Shiyue's recent habit of attending Yu You's lectures at the university. To make Shi Yan jealous, Zheng Shuyi deliberately praised Yu You in front of him, even mentioning that Yu You appeared younger and more cheerful than Shi Yan. This made Shi Yan feel jealous, so he promptly took Zheng Shuyi to visit his medal room, showing off his achievements.

Shi Yan discussed why he had chosen to leave Mingyu and establish Yun Chuang with Zheng Shuyi. Zheng Shuyi admired Shi Yan's courage for breaking the mold to pursue his dreams and visions. After receiving Zheng Shuyi's compliments, Shi Yan asked for a reward. Zheng Shuyi, moved by his request, initiated a kiss with him. However, she suddenly felt shy after the kiss and hurriedly left Shi Yan's home.

Two days later, while on a business trip to Ancheng, Shi Yan coincidentally met Zheng Shuyi, who was also on the same trip. Shi Yan decisively invited Zheng Shuyi to travel together. Upon arriving in Ancheng, he even arranged for them to stay at the same hotel.

Zheng Shuyi thought that Shi Yan had arranged for her to stay in the same room with him, thinking that it wasn't quite appropriate. However, in the blink of an eye, she found out that Shi Yan had arranged for her to stay in another room. Zheng Shuyi hurriedly returned to her room to conceal her awkward situation.

After confirming Shi Yan's upcoming trip to Zhanlan for a business trip, Zheng Shuyi rescheduled her interview with General Jiang to the day after tomorrow.

Yu You received a limited edition CD about Song Lelan, and he guessed it might be a gift from Qin Shiyue. Yu You took the initiative to invite Guan Ji to a bar for a drink, seeking advice on how to reject a girl without hurting her feelings, as he believed that he and the girl were not a suitable match. However, Guan Ji thought that Yu You was already entangled in this romantic game. Dragging it out between a man and a woman for so long, one couldn't be interested while the other remained indifferent. If he was sure he didn't like her, he should reject her directly to minimize the hurt.

At the bar, Guan Ji saw Bi Ruoshan drinking with friends. When he noticed that Bi Ruoshan was already drunk, he offered to take her place. Bi Ruoshan felt it was pointless and left on her own, but Guan Ji, concerned for her, insisted on escorting her back to the hotel. To better understand General Jiang of Zhanlan Technology, Zheng Shuyi and Shi Yan made plans to visit Xaguang Temple, a place frequently mentioned by General Jiang. On the way there, Zheng Shuyi nearly stumbled, and Shi Yan took her hand to support her. The two of them even took a special photo at Xaguang Temple.

At Xaguang Temple, Zheng Shuyi drew a fortune slip and the person interpreting it told her that her destined one had arrived, urging her to give her heart wholeheartedly.

After visiting the attractions, Zheng Shuyi and Shi Yan went to a noodle shop for a meal. Qin Shiyue, who was bored due to overtime work, contacted Shi Yan to vent her frustrations. She also asked him to bring a souvenir from Ancheng. Zheng Shuyi learned that Shi Yan's niece was chatting with him, and she silently complained that kids from wealthy families wanted everything, even other people's things. Shi Yan, hearing Zheng Shuyi's complaints, recalled his ex-girlfriend saying that he wanted too much, which was unreasonable when they broke up. He asked Zheng Shuyi for her opinion about him, and she thought Shi Yan was a person with strong ideals and determination, willing to work tirelessly for his goals.

The next day, Shi Yan visited Zhanlan Technology Company for research, and Zheng Shuyi, as his special assistant, accompanied him. Shi Yan explained that he personally came because Yun Chuang valued their investment in Zhanlan. He inquired about General Jiang's knowledge of the Hengxin New Energy Vehicle accident, but General Jiang pretended not to know and blamed the accident on driver error, completely ruling out any issues with the batteries. Seeing that General Jiang was unwilling to discuss the reasons behind the new energy vehicle accident, Shi Yan had to end the conversation. General Jiang advised Shi Yan to give up on Zhanlan and think of a way to explain it to the old shareholders. Zheng Shuyi couldn't bear to watch and retorted, criticizing General Jiang and Zhanlan for not addressing the product issues and instead choosing to sweep them under the rug. Zheng Shuyi used to admire General Jiang before coming here, but she was now very disappointed with both him and Zhanlan.

On the way back, Zheng Shuyi regretted her hasty criticism of General Jiang and was worried that it might ruin the cooperation between Yun Chuang and Zhanlan. Shi Yan understood Zheng Shuyi's concerns and stated that he could accept products that were not perfect, but he couldn't accept an attitude of avoidance toward problems. Investing in Zhanlan carried too much risk, and he could use Zheng Shuyi's words to explain to the shareholders when he returned.

Shi Yan's driver had an emergency and couldn't pick them up. After dinner, Shi Yan took Zheng Shuyi for a walk along the riverside back to the hotel. During the walk, Zheng Shuyi thought about her future retirement life, making Shi Yan feel that Zheng Shuyi had already included him in her future plans. The two of them gazed deeply into each other's eyes, and Shi Yan intended to kiss Zheng Shuyi but was interrupted by a phone call from Qin Shiyue. This made him quite annoyed at Qin Shiyue's call.

Yu You originally returned Song Lelan's CD to Qin Shiyue, citing it as too valuable. However, Qin Shiyue claimed that she didn't spend any money on those CDs. Qin Shiyue once again suggested having dinner together, but Yu You chose to refuse directly. Undeterred, Qin Shiyue ordered takeout for Yu You, so it was like they were having a meal together. Based on the photos taken by Yu You, Qin Shiyue could tell his food preferences. Yu You noticed Qin Shiyue's generosity, but he advised her that money couldn't solve all problems. When assessing something, you should consider whether it's necessary. He hoped that in the future, Qin Shiyue could find someone who understood her preferences. Although Qin Shiyue was repeatedly rejected, she still refused to give up pursuing Yu You.

Early the next day, Shi Yan thoughtfully prepared coffee for Zheng Shuyi and even personally took her to Zhanlan Technology for the interview with General Jiang. It was only then that General Jiang learned that she was a financial journalist and that she had come with Shi Yan simply because they were friends. During the interview, Zheng Shuyi wanted to continue asking about the recent new energy vehicle accident and its solution. Seeing that General Jiang was avoiding the question, Zheng Shuyi stated that she would truthfully report the interview according to the accident investigation report. General Jiang initially wanted to please Zheng Shuyi to secure Yun Chuang's investment in Zhanlan, but Zheng Shuyi refused directly and stated that she would report the interview truthfully.

Yu You saw Qin Shiyue attending classes at Caifu University again. After the class, he called her to his office, returned Song Lelan's CD to her, and mentioned that he believed music was about the heart, not the form. He thought that if the form was more important than the music itself, it wasn't worth it. Yu You thanked Qin Shiyue for her interest but also believed that her liking for him was just a passing phase, and they weren't a suitable match. Qin Shiyue claimed that, despite her youth, she wasn't immature and had her own judgment and pursuit in matters of the heart. She believed that in matters of love, you shouldn't think about the outcome first and should have the chance to pursue and understand the person. Although Yu You had some fondness for Qin Shiyue deep down, he didn't directly refuse her request.

Zheng Shuyi sent her interview draft with General Jiang to Tang Yi, who, after reading it, knew that once this article was published, it would have a significant impact on the industry. However, she supported Zheng Shuyi's commitment to truthful reporting and sharing valuable insights, so she agreed to have the article published.

Zheng Shuyi went to Mingyu to meet Director Qiu, but Qin Lezhi learned that Zheng Shuyi was visiting and deliberately made her wait downstairs, citing a meeting with Director Qiu as the reason. When Chen Sheng passed by and saw Zheng Shuyi waiting for Director Qiu, he informed Shi Yan about the situation. Shi Yan immediately instructed Director Qiu to go downstairs and meet Zheng Shuyi, making Director Qiu realize Zheng Shuyi's importance. This led to a reprimand of Qin Lezhi for arranging a meeting time by Qin Lezhi himself.

When Shi Yan learned that Zheng Shuyi had finished her work, he specifically went downstairs to take her to his office. Zheng Shuyi worked in his office, and she wanted to prepare a cup of honey water for him. However, she learned from Chen Sheng that Shi Yan didn't drink honey water, and the cup she found was specially prepared by Shi Yan for her. Zheng Shuyi also learned from Chen Sheng that Shi Yan had deliberately contacted Director Qiu to meet her, so she felt Shi Yan's thoughtfulness.

Zheng Shuyi accompanied Shi Yan to work overtime. She noticed her hunger and decided to have hot pot with Shi Yan. Shi Yan had never eaten at such a simple hot pot restaurant, but he saw that Zheng Shuyi enjoyed it, so he didn't complain.

Suddenly, Qin Shiyue received a call for help. There was an accident in the parking lot at Finance University, and an elderly man pretended to be hit by her car. Shi Yan wanted to go and handle the situation. Zheng Shuyi, upon hearing that Shi Yan was going to deal with the issue of her niece being involved in an accident, deliberately acted weak and coquettish. As expected, Shi Yan chose to stay and sent Chen Sheng to handle the accident involving her niece.

The elderly man who pretended to be hit did not want to go to the hospital for an examination or involve the police. He just wanted Qin Shiyue to pay him money to avoid trouble. However, Qin Shiyue refused, claiming it was not her responsibility, and she didn't want to give a single penny to the old man. She had worked hard for her money. Yu You happened to be passing by and saw Qin Shiyue in a difficult situation. He offered to help by suggesting that they report the incident to the police and warning the old man that pretending to be a victim could lead to extortion charges. Upon hearing this, the old man gave up on his compensation demands and left. After Yu You helped Qin Shiyue resolve the issue, he left, and she wondered why her nephew, Chen Sheng, hadn't come to pick her up.

When Qin Shiyue returned home, she was surprised to find that Shi Yan had gone to eat hot pot, even though he didn't like it. She suspected he had gone with his future sister-in-law. Guan Ji ran into Bi Ruoshan at the KTV and wanted to talk to her. However, his friends called him back to sing, and the two of them, who were in a party mood, had to give up the conversation.

To thank Yu You for his help, Qin Shiyue offered to take him out for a meal, and he accepted, even choosing the restaurant himself. The next day, Qin Shiyue told Zheng Shuyi about her experience and complained about her uncle's behavior, stating that he had ignored his niece for the sake of a stranger.

Qin Shiyue learned that Zheng Shuyi was also in the process of matchmaking. She suggested that Zheng Shuyi compare the "tall, rich, and handsome" nephew and the "smart and handsome" matchmaking candidate and make more friends. She suggested observing them and developing a relationship with the suitable one. In a company meeting, Shi Yan proposed not to invest in Zanlan temporarily, which some old shareholders in the company could not accept. The meeting ended on a sour note.

The company's old shareholders believed that Shi Yan didn't respect them enough in the matter of investing in Zanlan and approached Shi Yan's father, hoping for Qin Xiaoming to manage the company. In another company meeting, Shi Yan presented the latest article about Zanlan written by Zheng Shuyi for the old shareholders to review. Shi Yan also stated that Yun Chuang would not abandon its solid-state battery investment path. He decided to visit a foreign solid-state battery laboratory for research and learning and find more suitable partners for Yun Chuang.

The chief editor of the financial magazine agreed to make Zheng Shuyi's special report on Yun Chuang a paid feature, giving Zheng Shuyi hope for the upgrade of the electronic publication. As the New Year approached, Zheng Shuyi invited Shi Yan to go camping to watch the stars for the New Year's Eve. Although Shi Yan had to go on a business trip, he promised to join Zheng Shuyi for the New Year's celebration upon his return.

On New Year's Day, Zheng Shuyi went shopping with Qin Shiyue and Bi Ruoshan. Zheng Shuyi and Bi Ruoshan found what they were looking for, but Qin Shiyue couldn't find anything she liked. After parting ways with Zheng Shuyi and Bi Ruoshan, Qin Shiyue continued shopping on her own and unexpectedly ran into Yu You at the mall. Yu You was looking for a wedding gift for his soon-to-be-married cousin, and Qin Shiyue offered to help. She chose a meaningful perfume as the gift. Qin Shiyue initially wanted to invite Yu You for a meal, but Yu You had to catch a train and had to decline her invitation.

Zheng Shuyi, about to head home with Bi Ruoshan for a hot pot dinner, was surprised to see Shi Yan, who had been abroad, suddenly appearing before her. Bi Ruoshan took the opportunity to excuse herself, giving Zheng Shuyi and Shi Yan a chance to celebrate the New Year together.

Shi Yan took Zheng Shuyi to watch the stars. Zheng Shuyi mentioned that she hadn't prepared any camping equipment, but Shi Yan assured her that he had everything ready. What she didn't know was that Shi Yan had reserved the rooftop private room and bought a car full of roses to surprise her.

Qin Shiyue and her family celebrated the New Year with Guan Ji and his son. Guan Ji noticed Qin Shiyue busy with her phone and asked if she had found a partner this year. Qin Shiyue, lost in the sweetness of her love life, explained that Guan Ji, as a playboy, wouldn't understand this feeling.

After dinner, Shi Yan accompanied Zheng Shuyi to the hotel's balcony to watch the New Year's fireworks. Although they hadn't officially confirmed their relationship, they still found it very sweet to celebrate the New Year together. Shi Yan had originally planned to confess his feelings but changed his mind when he saw Zheng Shuyi making a wish for a successful career. He discreetly instructed the waiter to deliver the message he had prepared to Shi Yan's old house for Shi Huaiman, leaving Zheng Shuyi somewhat disappointed.

Qin Shiyue took the opportunity during the New Year's visit to ask if she could pursue Yu You, but Yu You explained that they weren't a good match, and he didn't want to make any mistakes in his love life. Zheng Shuyi told her friend Bi Ruoshan that Shi Yan had prepared a car full of roses for her but hadn't expressed his feelings. Bi Ruoshan learned that Zheng Shuyi's New Year's wish was to upgrade the electronic publication, finding Zheng Shuyi's ideas strange, which explained why Shi Yan didn't confess at the time.

Zheng Shuyi brought Bi Ruoshan to Guan Xiangcheng's horse ranch for a visit, and they unexpectedly ran into Shi Yan and Guan Ji. Guan Ji was delighted to see Bi Ruoshan and took the initiative to show her around the ranch. Tang Yi was also invited to Guan Xiangcheng's horse ranch and saw Zheng Shuyi there again. To avoid a meeting, she had Guan Xiangcheng take her to a winery to taste new wine.

Guan Ji specially helped Zheng Shuyi and Bi Ruoshan choose gentle horses to ride and even offered to teach them horseback riding. Shi Yan, feeling a bit upset about something, intentionally made things difficult for Zheng Shuyi. Bi Ruoshan noticed there was an issue between Shi Yan and Zheng Shuyi and advised Zheng Shuyi to act a little coquettish towards Shi Yan, suggesting that it might work if he cared about her. Zheng Shuyi, however, felt that she and Shi Yan were practically strangers, with him being as unpredictable as the wind, and she couldn't understand him.

Shi Yan overheard a conversation between Zheng Shuyi and Bi Ruoshan in the dressing room. After Bi Ruoshan left, he took the initiative to help Zheng Shuyi fasten her belt and acted intimately. He asked why they were still strangers after meeting the day before, leaving Zheng Shuyi surprised and puzzled by his sudden change.

Guan Ji taught Bi Ruoshan how to ride a horse and talked about why he loved horseback riding. He explained that it made him feel free and unrestricted, close to real freedom. Bi Ruoshan also enjoyed the feeling of freedom, and they found common ground in their preferences. While taking a break from horseback riding, Shi Yan asked Zheng Shuyi why she had intentionally approached him during their first meeting. Zheng Shuyi initially mentioned that it was for an interview, as both Yun Chuang and Shi Yan were very appealing to her.

Zheng Shuyi expressed that getting close to Shi Yan initially was for an interview, but upon getting to know him, she found Shi Yan to be both attractive and talented, naturally feeling drawn to him. Shi Yan understood that Zheng Shuyi had some reservations about him but was willing to wait for her to open up. Bi Ruoshan also enjoyed herself at the horse ranch and, in order to create an opportunity for Zheng Shuyi and Shi Yan, asked Shi Yan to take Zheng Shuyi home and Guan Ji to take her home.

Guan Xiangcheng and Tang Yi were wine tasting at the vineyard. Guan Xiangcheng believed that they had moved past the age of love at first sight and that being together now was a rational and emotionally driven choice. He wanted to build a future life with Tang Yi, but Tang Yi, being unmarried and lacking much relationship experience, lacked confidence in her future. Guan Xiangcheng reassured Tang Yi that her concerns were not an issue and encouraged them to learn from Shi Yan and Shuyi, openly expressing their feelings without overthinking.

Yu You's mother asked him about his feelings toward Zheng Shuyi, Wang Aiyi's daughter. She believed that if both of them had mutual feelings, it would be beneficial to accelerate the progress of their relationship. Seeing that her son did not refuse, Yu You's mother thought he had a favorable impression of Zheng Shuyi and encouraged him to pursue her.

Tang Yi called Zheng Shuyi to inquire about her romantic relationship with Shi Yan. Since Zheng Shuyi and Shi Yan hadn't defined their relationship, she had to explain that they were not in a romantic relationship. Qin Shiyue, upon seeing Shi Yan's troubled expression, asked about his relationship issues. Learning that someone might be deceiving Shi Yan, Qin Shiyue suggested that the person either didn't love him or loved him too much. Since the other person was unwilling to let his nephew know certain things, it probably meant caring about his nephew's opinion.

Guan Xiangcheng initially wanted to introduce Guan Ji to Tang Yi but later decided to wait until Tang Yi was willing to meet the family. Guan Ji joked that his father was the backup plan for a future stepmother. Guan Xiangcheng explained that Tang Yi had her concerns, and he respected her, willing to wait for her response. Guan Ji hoped his father could be with the person he loved and supported him in bravely pursuing love.

Shi Yan, accompanied by Guan Ji and Yu You, inspected a new company, Aggregation Battery Company. After meeting with the company's leaders, Cheng Xing and Hao Wangshu, and touring the company, they realized that Aggregation Battery Company invested 70-80% of its energy and profits into technology, causing its market share to struggle. Shi Yan was impressed by the company and believed that focusing on technological advancement was crucial for success.

Zheng Shuyi's mother pressured her about her relationship with Yu You. Zheng Shuyi had to explain that she already had a boyfriend, but her mother didn't believe her and demanded pictures. Zheng Shuyi sent a photo of Shi Yan, but her mother, being aware of Shi Yan online, thought Zheng Shuyi was deliberately using a photo of a financial businessman found online to deceive her. She threatened Zheng Shuyi to meet Yu You this weekend.

Due to her mother's threat, Zheng Shuyi had to arrange to meet Yu You for dinner on the weekend. Qin Shiyue, learning that Zheng Shuyi was pressured by her mother to get married, investigated and found out that her blind date was a finance professor at the university, thinking it was a suitable match for Yu You. Since Zheng Shuyi had no feelings for Yu You, she invited Qin Shiyue to join them for dinner. Qin Shiyue, upon arriving at the restaurant, discovered that Zheng Shuyi's blind date was none other than Yu You, whom she secretly liked.

Zheng Shuyi explained that the dinner with Yu You was due to her mother's pressure, and she emphasized that she was still young and not in a hurry to get married. Yu You understood Zheng Shuyi's perspective, saying he was busy with work and not ready to invest in a relationship. Qin Shiyue, seeing Yu You and Zheng Shuyi chatting happily, silently criticized Yu You for having nothing to say to her.

Qin Shiyue didn't go home for dinner, and Shi Yan's father called to inquire. Unexpectedly, Shi Yan learned from Qin Shiyue that Zheng Shuyi was currently on a blind date. Seizing the opportunity while Zheng Shuyi went to the restroom, Qin Shiyue asked Yu You if he liked Zheng Shuyi. Yu You said he appreciated Zheng Shuyi as a person but currently, Zheng Shuyi had no feelings for him. He intended to try and build a friendship with her. Zheng Shuyi's mother arranged for her to visit an exhibition with Yu You next week. Initially wanting to refuse, Zheng Shuyi, under Qin Shiyue's persuasion, decided to invite Yu You and Qin Shiyue to the exhibition together.

On the way back home, Yu You asked Zheng Shuyi if she had someone unattainable in her heart. He suggested that, for the sake of their families, they could explain that they were still in the getting-to-know-each-other stage. Zheng Shuyi approved of this plan. As Zheng Shuyi said goodbye to Yu You downstairs, she unexpectedly ran into Shi Yan. She explained that today was just dinner with an old friend, denying the blind date. Jealous about Zheng Shuyi's blind date, Shi Yan decisively kissed her to express his feelings and asked her to accompany him to work next weekend, leaving Zheng Shuyi disappointed that Shi Yan wasn't thinking about a date with her.

Zheng Shuyi's mother urged her daughter to spend more time with Yu You and not to entertain unrealistic thoughts about people online. She specifically instructed Zheng Shuyi to attend the exhibition with Yu You over the weekend. To ensure they could go together, Qin Shiyue took the initiative to purchase tickets for the art exhibition. Surprisingly, Yu You was very polite, even offering to transfer the money for the tickets to her.

Shi Yan, now in a confirmed romantic relationship with Zheng Shuyi, was in a great mood. Even Guan Ji and Yu You noticed Shi Yan's positive demeanor. Shi Yan believed that Aggregation was young, dynamic, had a pursuit of technology, and a well-organized management team. He was highly optimistic about investing in Aggregation.

Zheng Shuyi specifically informed Qin Shiyue that her feelings towards Yu You were only those of friendship and nothing more. Qin Shiyue also thought that Zheng Shuyi's personality might not be suitable for a relationship with Yu You but instead favored Zheng Shuyi being with her "little uncle." Kong Nan's house unexpectedly leaked, and since it needed renovation, she had to find another place to stay temporarily. Chen Sheng, upon learning about this, actively helped her find a rental property. Kong Nan noticed that Chen Sheng had feelings for her and directly asked about his intentions. Chen Sheng honestly expressed his desire to be in a relationship with Kong Nan. While Kong Nan didn't deny her feelings for Chen Sheng, she advised him to consider the age difference between them and be prepared for marriage.

Even though Zheng Shuyi and Shi Yan confirmed their relationship and couldn't meet in person, they cared for each other. Zheng Shuyi found out that Shi Yan was busy and hadn't eaten, so she took the initiative to order takeaway for him, for which Shi Yan was very grateful.

Guan Ji actively invited Bi Ruoshan to dinner, suggesting activities like having a meal together, horseback riding, and watching a movie. Bi Ruoshan asked about the nature of their relationship, but Guan Ji seemed hesitant, disappointing Bi Ruoshan. She advised Guan Ji to think about what he truly wanted.

Yi Yang came to the finance department to discuss a contribution with Zheng Shuyi and requested to publish the interview in the Finance Department's electronic journal. To help Zheng Shuyi understand him better, Yi Yang invited her as the sole media representative to attend his press conference. Qin Shiyue attended Yu You's class again at the university, and a male student generously helped her secure a seat, for which she expressed gratitude and even invited him to dinner. Yu You, observing Qin Shiyue happily conversing with the male student, felt a ripple in his heart.

Upon learning that Zheng Shuyi would be working overtime, Shi Yan proactively ordered her favorite seafood noodles and had them delivered to the company. Zheng Shuyi appreciated Shi Yan's thoughtful gesture. Zheng Shuyi visited Yi Yang's company and participated in the live broadcast opening ceremony. She learned that Yi Yang was a chip genius who co-founded Black Horse Technology with his partner Bruce. Meanwhile, Shi Yan discovered that Bruce had left Le'an Group and joined a company called Black Horse Technology. Since Cloud Innovation had invested in Le'an Technology, Bruce's departure would affect Cloud Innovation's investment. As a result, Shi Yan found himself caught in a difficult situation with the shareholders.

Worried about Shi Yan, Zheng Shuyi went to Cloud Innovation to see him. However, she learned from Chen Sheng that Shi Yan had left just ten minutes ago. Zheng Shuyi then went to Shi Yan's home, where she comforted him with a hug and expressed her intention to accompany him and share a drink to ease his troubles.

Zheng Shuyi could tell that Shi Yan lacked confidence because Bruce left Le'an. She believed that Shi Yan was more outstanding than Yi Yang and that Bruce leaving Le'an was not solely Shi Yan's problem. Zheng Shuyi used her internship experience, where her articles were rejected, as an example to demonstrate that everyone faces setbacks, and those who haven't faced setbacks won't succeed. She firmly believed that Shi Yan would successfully overcome this hurdle with the support of herself, Guan Ji, Yu You, and Chen Sheng. Seeing Zheng Shuyi's confidence in him, Shi Yan couldn't help but kiss her.

Shi Yan regained his composure and decided to come up with some solutions. He went to the office early on a weekend to work. Upon learning that Shi Yan was working on the weekend, Zheng Shuyi, along with Qin Shiyue and Yu You, decided to go to the art gallery first and then join Shi Yan at Yun Chuang. Qin Shiyue, Zheng Shuyi, and Yu You visited the exhibition together, with Qin Shiyue actively explaining art knowledge to everyone. Zheng Shuyi praised Qin Shiyue for her artistic cultivation, unaware that Qin Shiyue had secretly studied Baidu Baike all night. Zheng Shuyi learned from her mother that Yu You's mother was the dean of the School of Fine Arts. Qin Shiyue awkwardly admitted to bluffing Yu You about art, and Zheng Shuyi comforted Qin Shiyue, suggesting that Yu You probably didn't understand art at all.

In order to accompany Shi Yan to work overtime, Zheng Shuyi left hastily after the exhibition. Qin Shiyue, wanting to be alone with Yu You, pretended to have booked two movie tickets. Yu You, not wanting Qin Shiyue to be upset, volunteered to accompany her to the movies.

While at Yun Chuang, Zheng Shuyi coincidentally encountered Qin Lezhi. Qin Lezhi mistakenly thought there was something between Zheng Shuyi and Qiu Zong and warned her that Qiu Zong's wife was the deputy general manager of a self-media operation company. Zheng Shuyi sarcastically remarked that Qin Lezhi had given up his past life, leaving him annoyed. Shi Yan had already learned from Qin Shiyue that Zheng Shuyi had accompanied a blind date to the exhibition. He intentionally asked Zheng Shuyi why she dressed so nicely, and Zheng Shuyi had to explain that it was for him to see. When Shi Yan noticed Zheng Shuyi looking at him in a daze, he playfully approached her, unintentionally causing Zheng Shuyi to misunderstand and feel embarrassed.

The more Zheng Shuyi got to know Shi Yan, the more she appreciated him. She felt she was deviating from her original purpose, which was to get close to Shi Yan for a financial interview and to impress Yue Xingzhou. Now, she wanted to be with Shi Yan and face the unknown future together, overcoming all challenges. She shared her thoughts with Bi Ruoshan, who supported Zheng Shuyi's decision to be with Shi Yan, considering it wouldn't be a loss to marry into a wealthy family. Zheng Shuyi, waking up from her lunch break, listened to Bi Ruoshan's voice message, but to her surprise, Shi Yan was in the bathroom when she returned from the meeting. After some probing, Shi Yan pretended not to have heard Bi Ruoshan's message, but deep down, he was disappointed that Zheng Shuyi had ulterior motives for getting close to him.

On the way home after watching a movie with Yu You, Qin Shiyue tried to get closer to him, but Yu You mistakenly thought she was tired and offered to take her home. During the ride, Qin Shiyue remembered Bi Ruoshan's advice to be straightforward in pursuing someone and asked Yu You if he had a girlfriend, expressing her desire to visit his home.

Yi Yang once again came to Financial Interview to meet Zheng Shuyi. He was determined to have Zheng Shuyi interview him and explicitly expressed his liking for her, surprising Zheng Shuyi.

Yi Yang directly expressed his admiration for Zheng Shuyi and her writing style. He believed that the interview would allow Zheng Shuyi to understand his excellence in various aspects. However, Zheng Shuyi straightforwardly stated that they were not suitable for each other and did not deny having feelings for someone else. Yi Yang thought that most relationships are spontaneous choices and not necessarily perfect. He suggested that Zheng Shuyi compare him with her boyfriend after the interview to make a better choice.

Zheng Shuyi spoke highly of her excellent boyfriend, Tang Yi. She wasn't afraid of comparing him to Yi Yang, emphasizing that love doesn't need comparison. Although she found Yi Yang's interview valuable, she said she would consider his interview offer.

Tang Yi learned about Zheng Shuyi's hesitation in accepting Yi Yang's article and discovered that Yi Yang was pursuing her through the interview request. Zheng Shuyi assured Tang Yi that she wouldn't let love affect her career but made it clear that she wouldn't sacrifice love for her career. Tang Yi understood Zheng Shuyi's principles and agreed to let her consider the interview. Zheng Shuyi planned to attend a chip conference in Fucheng over the weekend, and she informed Tang Yi about it. Tang Yi learned that Shi Yan would accompany Zheng Shuyi to the conference and speculated that they might be in a romantic relationship. Zheng Shuyi did not deny this time.

Witnessing Zheng Shuyi's bravery in handling love, Tang Yi called Guan Xiangcheng to inquire if their secret relationship made him unhappy. Guan Xiangcheng believed that couples should be tolerant and understanding, emphasizing that the public nature of the relationship was not crucial.

Zheng Shuyi informed Shi Yan about Yi Yang's request for an interview, proposing to publish the interview in the electronic magazine. However, Yi Yang also confessed his feelings for her. Zheng Shuyi firmly rejected his confession, praising her excellent boyfriend. Shi Yan, aware of Zheng Shuyi's concerns, expressed his support for any decision she made. He confidently stated that Zheng Shuyi might prefer him after interviewing Yi Yang. Shi Yan also expressed his desire for Zheng Shuyi's radiance to shine brightly, with both of them becoming more dazzling, leaving no room for others.

Qin Shiyue told Zheng Shuyi that she enjoyed the exhibition and movies with Yu You. She admitted to having some feelings for Yu You and wanted to visit his home. However, Yu You refused her request. Qin Shiyue, learning from Zheng Shuyi that Yu You might attend the Fucheng chip conference, asked Guan Ji to accompany her, causing disappointment to Bi Ruoshan, who wanted to go with Guan Ji.

Zheng Shuyi came to Black Horse Technology for an interview with Yi Yang, and both enjoyed discussing the interview content.

Shi Yan arranged for the driver Master Fan to pick up Zheng Shuyi to go to Fucheng. Unexpectedly, she encountered Yue Xingzhou downstairs, who mistakenly accused her of having an affair with a married man. Angry, Zheng Shuyi clarified the situation and expressed her frustration with Yue Xingzhou's assumptions.

Shi Yan and Yi Yang met at a gathering. When someone brought up the topic of Yi Yang taking Bruce away, both Yi Yang and Shi Yan clarified that Black Horse and Le'an had friendly competition, and Bruce had his own considerations. They stated that there was no conflict between them, and future cooperation between Black Horse and Le'an was possible.

Zheng Shuyi arrived at the hotel in Fucheng but did not see Shi Yan. She continuously sent messages to him, playfully claiming she hadn't eaten. Shi Yan, upon seeing Zheng Shuyi's messages, quickly ended the gathering and prepared to return to the hotel to accompany her. Meanwhile, Tang Yi noticed Zheng Shuyi's brave approach to love and called Guan Xiangcheng to ask if their secret relationship made him unhappy. Guan Xiangcheng believed that mutual understanding and tolerance were essential in a relationship, emphasizing that the public nature of the relationship was not crucial; the important thing was that their relationship was good.

Zheng Shuyi informed Shi Yan about Yi Yang's request for an interview, suggesting to publish it in the electronic magazine. However, Yi Yang also confessed his feelings for her. Zheng Shuyi firmly rejected his confession, praising her excellent boyfriend. Shi Yan, aware of Zheng Shuyi's concerns, expressed his support for any decision she made. He confidently stated that Zheng Shuyi might prefer him after interviewing Yi Yang. Shi Yan also expressed his desire for Zheng Shuyi's radiance to shine brightly, with both of them becoming more dazzling, leaving no room for others.

Qin Shiyue told Zheng Shuyi that she enjoyed the exhibition and movies with Yu You. She admitted to having some feelings for Yu You and wanted to visit his home. However, Yu You refused her request. Qin Shiyue, learning from Zheng Shuyi that Yu You might attend the Fucheng chip conference, asked Guan Ji to accompany her, causing disappointment to Bi Ruoshan, who wanted to go with Guan Ji.

Zheng Shuyi came to Black Horse Technology for an interview with Yi Yang, and both enjoyed discussing the interview content.

Shi Yan arranged for the driver Master Fan to pick up Zheng Shuyi to go to Fucheng. Unexpectedly, she encountered Yue Xingzhou downstairs, who mistakenly accused her of having an affair with a married man. Angry, Zheng Shuyi clarified the situation and expressed her frustration with Yue Xingzhou's assumptions.

Shi Yan and Yi Yang met at a gathering. When someone brought up the topic of Yi Yang taking Bruce away, both Yi Yang and Shi Yan clarified that Black Horse and Le'an had friendly competition, and Bruce had his own considerations. They stated that there was no conflict between them, and future cooperation between Black Horse and Le'an was possible.

Zheng Shuyi arrived at the hotel in Fucheng but did not see Shi Yan. She continuously sent messages to him, playfully claiming she hadn't eaten. Shi Yan, upon seeing Zheng Shuyi's messages, quickly ended the gathering and prepared to return to the hotel to accompany her. However, Shi Yan got angry that Zheng Shuyi went out alone, and Zheng Shuyi was also upset that Shi Yan left her alone in the hotel. Shi Yan blamed Zheng Shuyi for being too beautiful and attracting unwanted attention. Seeing Zheng Shuyi being playful in front of him, Shi Yan kissed her in the elevator. Zheng Shuyi, though shy, requested Shi Yan to do it again.

Shi Yan ignored Zheng Shuyi's request for a kiss and ushered her into the room to rest. At the hotel, Shi Yan unexpectedly encountered Qin Shiyue, who explained that she was there to learn at the chip conference. Upon learning that Qin Shiyue came with Guan Ji to Fucheng, Shi Yan advised her to focus on her studies. Shi Yan initially wanted to introduce Zheng Shuyi to his niece, but Zheng Shuyi, not wanting to meet his niece "Qin Lezhi," politely declined, citing work as an excuse.

After finishing work, Shi Yan gathered with Guan Ji and Yu You. Guan Ji saw Shi Yan responding to messages and inquired, learning that Shi Yan already had a girlfriend, though he did not reveal her name. Shi Yan mentioned that he would inform Guan Ji and Yu You when his girlfriend wanted to go public. Guan Ji asked about their love stories, and Shi Yan mentioned that the other person might have flirted initially, but it turned out to be the right person. Shi Yan inquired about Yu You's love life, and Yu You admitted that currently, the right person was not interested in him, while the unsuitable ones were interested. Yu You also expressed his recent contemplation on relationships, emphasizing the importance of mutual interest instead of using problem-solving methods to find a partner.

Zheng Shuyi was very worried about meeting Shi Yan's niece, "Qin Lezhi," fearing that Shi Yan would realize her true motive for getting close to him was to retaliate against Qin Lezhi. Zheng Shuyi and Shi Yan arrived at the chip conference, and to avoid meeting Shi Yan's niece, Zheng Shuyi asked Shi Yan to enter the conference first while she met a friend. They planned to meet in the conference hall later.

In the chip conference, Zheng Shuyi did not see Qin Lezhi but encountered Qin Shiyue. After exchanging a few words, Qin Shiyue hurriedly left upon seeing Yu You. Qin Shiyue found Yu You and greeted him, causing Yu You to feel a bit jealous.

In the conference hall, Shi Yan, Yu You, and Yi Yang simultaneously noticed Zheng Shuyi. All three invited her to join them, and in the end, Zheng Shuyi, feeling extremely awkward, sat next to Shi Yan, citing Shi Yan's invitation as the reason. Yi Yang intentionally changed seats to sit next to Zheng Shuyi for communication purposes, while Shi Yan publicly held hands with Zheng Shuyi to display possessiveness.

Yu You went to buy coffee and unexpectedly encountered Qin Shiyue. To strengthen their relationship, Qin Shiyue suggested that Yu You could call her "Xiao Yue" in the future. Yu You did not directly agree, but he willingly bought coffee for Qin Shiyue, making her very happy.

Guan Ji ran into Bi Ruoshan and colleagues interviewing at the chip conference. He suggested arranging Bi Ruoshan in the guest area with him, but Bi Ruoshan rejected the proposal, citing it as inappropriate. During the conference break, Zheng Shuyi felt unwell and wanted to return to the hotel. Shi Yan arranged for someone to take her back to rest. During the break, Shi Yan learned that Zheng Shuyi had returned to the hotel and requested painkillers, causing him to worry. He returned to the hotel to check on Zheng Shuyi. Unable to sleep due to discomfort, Zheng Shuyi saw Shi Yan specifically coming to visit her and playfully asked him to comfort her. With Shi Yan's company, Zheng Shuyi gradually fell asleep.

Zheng Shuyi was awakened by her mom's phone call. Her mom once again urged her to go out for dinner and a movie with Yu You. Although Zheng Shuyi emphasized that she had a preference for a different type and didn't like someone like Yu You, her mom clearly didn't believe her words. Shi Yan overheard Zheng Shuyi's call and asked if her family was urging her for a blind date. Zheng Shuyi had to explain that she was choosing a pet dog.

Bi Ruoshan came to visit the unwell Zheng Shuyi and saw Shi Yan had prepared lunch for her, praising Shi Yan as an ideal boyfriend. Feeling guilty about Shi Yan's kindness, Zheng Shuyi wanted to confess her initial motives for getting close to him. However, Bi Ruoshan believed it was not the right time to confess. She warned Zheng Shuyi that if Shi Yan found out she deceived him and chose to break up, could Zheng Shuyi accept the consequences?

Shi Yan specially visited Professor Li and hoped he could help Le'an Technology develop Chinese chip technology. Professor Li appreciated Chen Kang and promised to consider cooperation between the laboratory and Le'an, exchanging knowledge. Zheng Shuyi received an invitation from her senior Chen to attend his wedding on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. She agreed to attend but later learned from Chen that Yue Xingzhou would also be attending with Qin Lezhi.

Zheng Shuyi arranged for Qin Shiyue to summarize the chip conference before returning. Although Qin Shiyue had taken notes during the meeting, there were still many aspects she didn't understand. Upon learning this, Yu You suggested that Qin Shiyue focus on understanding the trends and dynamics of the chip industry. He advised her to mark certain frequently mentioned terms and investigate them thoroughly later. After guiding Qin Shiyue on how to write the summary, Yu You invited her to leave together.

Unable to sleep at night after getting enough rest during the day, Zheng Shuyi was taken by Shi Yan to watch a movie. Zheng Shuyi posted the movie tickets on her social media during the movie. Qin Shiyue, misunderstanding, thought Zheng Shuyi's dad accompanied her, envying the time he spent with his daughter. Shi Yan, seeing the social media post, purposely liked it. This led Qin Shiyue to believe that Shi Yan's late-night like was inconsistent with his usual behavior and speculated that he might have a crush on Zheng Shuyi.

Worried about Yu You accompanying Zheng Shuyi to watch a movie, Qin Shiyue went to Yu You's room to verify. However, Qin Shiyue couldn't find a reason to knock and inquire about someone. The hotel front desk, noticing Qin Shiyue's suspicious behavior, called Yu You and Guan Ji's rooms to ensure their safety. Guan Ji, upon seeing Qin Shiyue, opened the door and asked, but Qin Shiyue did not honestly reveal the reason for her visit.

Late at night, Guan Ji found Bi Ruoshan, wanting to discuss their relationship issues. Guan Ji sensed that Bi Ruoshan had been avoiding him lately and honestly conveyed his feelings, stating that he was not interested in a casual relationship. He lacked experience in maintaining a long-term and stable relationship, feeling insecure. When Bi Ruoshan started avoiding him, he realized her importance but needed time to contemplate their relationship. Guan Ji asked Bi Ruoshan not to avoid him and gave her time to think. Bi Ruoshan promised not to avoid him but needed time to think about other matters.

After the movie, Shi Yan, holding Zheng Shuyi's hand, coincidentally was seen by Bi Ruoshan and Guan Ji. Bi Ruoshan claimed it was a chance encounter, while Zheng Shuyi explained it was also a coincidence to meet Shi Yan. Observing Zheng Shuyi deliberately concealing their relationship, Shi Yan felt dissatisfied. To verify if Yu You accompanied Zheng Shuyi to the movie, Qin Shiyue purposely invited Yu You to watch the same film. Yu You, citing a busy schedule the next day, advised Qin Shiyue to rest early.

Qin Shiyue declined Shi Yan's invitation to attend the peak forum together, choosing to visit the enterprise exhibition hall. Here, she coincidentally met Yi Yang. Yi Yang had initially planned to explain the forum content to Zheng Shuyi separately but discovered that Shi Yan had already sent the forum recording to Zheng Shuyi. To seize an opportunity to spend time with Zheng Shuyi, Yi Yang brought her to participate in the peak forum.

During the forum, Yi Yang was invited to speak on stage, followed by Shi Yan being invited for an interview. The host asked them about the competition between Le'an and the dark horse. Both stated it was a fair competition, and regardless of who ultimately led, it would be beneficial for consumers. Shi Yan expressed confidence in Le'an, even if the dark horse took the lead.

After the forum, Shi Yan planned to have lunch with Zheng Shuyi. However, Yi Yang appeared before them, and Shi Yan voluntarily revealed his romantic relationship with Zheng Shuyi. Yi Yang, unwilling to concede, declared he was pursuing Zheng Shuyi and challenged Shi Yan to a gentleman's competition. Shi Yan stated that Zheng Shuyi couldn't be a pawn in their competition, and Zheng Shuyi had the right to choose the person she liked.

Qin Shiyue waited near the exit after the forum, inviting Yu You to have lunch together. This time, Yu You gladly accepted. Qin Shiyue aimed to strengthen their relationship over the meal, even though Yu You didn't anticipate anything more between them. Qin Shiyue was determined not to give up pursuing Yu You.

Shi Yan expressed that the competition between Le'an and the dark horse might lead to defeat, and Yun Chuang's investment could fail. Nevertheless, even if they lost, he could rise again, and Zheng Shuyi stated she would always accompany him, facing success or failure together.

Existing shareholders of Yun Chuang believed that Shi Yan's decision to abandon the deep blue project and invest in aggregation was a case of losing the big picture for small gains. However, Shi Yan and others believed that focusing on the research and development of core technology in aggregation could lead them to gradually surpass the deep blue. This opportunity might be the chance for Yun Chuang's investment to succeed fully.

Approaching the Chinese New Year, Shi Yan arranged for Chen Sheng to prepare New Year goods and also prepare a gift for his family. Shi Yan invited Zheng Shuyi to dinner, but Zheng Shuyi feared Shi Yan's kindness and the potential revelation of her deception. She confided her concerns to Bi Ruoshan, who believed that for Shi Yan, emotions were not a necessity. If he found out about the deception while their relationship with Zheng Shuyi was still unstable, it might jeopardize their connection irreparably.

Shi Yan made a special trip to pick up Zheng Shuyi after work and even bought her a warm milk tea. This made Zheng Shuyi feel the kindness Shi Yan had towards her, making her feel increasingly unable to do without him. Finally, when the New Year holiday arrived, Zheng Shuyi declined Kong Nan's dinner invitation and decided to buy New Year gifts for her parents overnight. While preparing to buy gifts at the mall, Zheng Shuyi unexpectedly encountered Qin Lezhi again. Qin Lezhi deliberately mocked Zheng Shuyi for climbing the social ladder, but regretfully mentioned that the other party was a bit older, with a wife and children. Zheng Shuyi, upon hearing this, honestly admitted that her boyfriend was wealthy. However, Qin Lezhi, upon meeting him, still had to be respectful, leaving him speechless.

Qin Shiyue came to the university to find Yu You, who happened to be feeding cats. Qin Shiyue, while playing with the cats, got scratched and Yu You promptly took her to the hospital for a rabies vaccine. Early in the morning, Zheng Shuyi packed her bags to return to Qing'an for the New Year. Shi Yan also came early to take her to the high-speed railway station. Although Zheng Shuyi was reluctant to part with Shi Yan, she understood that he would be busy during the New Year and accepted that he wouldn't be able to accompany her back to Qing'an.

Zheng Shuyi's parents were very happy to receive the New Year gifts from their daughter and were proud of their excellent and filial daughter. Guan Ji couldn't contact Bi Ruoshan and learned from her colleague that Bi Ruoshan had already gone home for the New Year. He hurriedly found Bi Ruoshan's hometown and unexpectedly saw her discussing wedding planning with a man. This greatly confused Guan Ji.

After returning home, Zheng Shuyi contacted Bi Ruoshan and learned that she was helping her cousin plan a wedding. Bi Ruoshan was excited about the prospect of helping Bi Ruoshan find a partner after the New Year, using her own experience to filter out unworthy men. Qin Shiyue received a reminder from Yu You to get vaccinated and was delighted that he still cared for her. She deliberately pretended to be afraid of injections and asked Yu You to accompany her after getting the vaccine.

Guan Ji waited for Bi Ruoshan downstairs and admitted his feelings for her. However, Bi Ruoshan believed that Guan Ji's affection was just a desire for conquest and possession. She couldn't accept someone uncontrollable like him and begged Guan Ji to let her go, hoping that they would not disturb each other in the future.

On New Year's Eve, Shi Yan called Zheng Shuyi, and both of them missed each other. They looked forward to meeting again after the New Year. Zheng Shuyi's parents initially wanted to have a meal with Zheng Shuyi and Yu You's family after the New Year but realized that they were trying to matchmake Zheng Shuyi with Yu You. Zheng Shuyi firmly rejected her parents' good intentions, stating that she had already made arrangements for her love life. Shi Yan's family and Guan Ji's family celebrated the New Year together and everyone was very happy.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, Shi Yan and Zheng Shuyi video chatted. Zheng Shuyi learned that Shi Yan planned to visit her in Qing'an after the New Year. Qin Shiyue saw Shi Yan coming back from the video call and guessed that he was talking to his girlfriend. Shi Yan admitted in front of his family that he already had a girlfriend but didn't reveal her identity without permission.

In order to outshine Qin Lezhi at the wedding, Zheng Shuyi selected several outfits for Shi Yan to help her choose. Shi Yan, knowing that Zheng Shuyi was going to meet someone important, eagerly decided to go to Qing'an.

Zheng Shuyi arrived alone to meet her senior. Considering her past relationship with Yue Xingzhou, the senior initially planned to seat her at a table with relatives, but she was later pulled to a table with classmates. When asked about Yue Xingzhou, Zheng Shuyi openly admitted that they had broken up.

Yue Xingzhou brought Qin Lezhi to the gathering, and when Zheng Shuyi saw their figures, she felt quite upset. At the wedding venue, Zheng Shuyi unexpectedly received the bride's bouquet. Facing the emcee's inquiry, she naturally admitted that she had a boyfriend and graciously accepted everyone's blessings.

Feeling annoyed about encountering unpleasant people at the wedding, Zheng Shuyi shared her frustration with Shi Yan. Qin Shiyue came to Qing'an with Shi Yan, planning to ask Yu You to show her around. During the wedding banquet, Qin Lezhi intentionally ordered her boyfriend, Yue Xingzhou, in front of Zheng Shuyi. Some classmates, witnessing this, intentionally asked about Zheng Shuyi's boyfriend. Qin Lezhi, in front of everyone, praised Zheng Shuyi's boyfriend for being outstanding in every aspect—graduated from a prestigious overseas university with both bachelor's and master's degrees, an executive at an investment company. Unfortunately, he was a bit older and already had a family. Zheng Shuyi refuted Qin Lezhi's malicious words, pointing out her interference in other people's relationships, leaving Qin Lezhi embarrassed and angry.

At this moment, Zheng Shuyi received a call from Shi Yan, who came to pick her up. She hurriedly left the table, and although Shi Yan scolded her for being bullied, he also felt sorry for her and decided to take her away. Upset because Yue Xingzhou didn't defend her at the banquet, Qin Lezhi, who had initially planned to leave directly, coincidentally encountered Zheng Shuyi at the hotel entrance. Zheng Shuyi, trying to greet her, was surprised when Qin Lezhi called the driver, Master Fan, "Uncle." Only then did Zheng Shuyi realize that she had misunderstood and thought Shi Yan was Qin Lezhi's uncle.

Upon learning that Zheng Shuyi had left, the senior apologized, and Shi Yan, hearing from Zheng Shuyi's classmates about Qin Lezhi's slanderous comments, didn't want an explanation from Qin Lezhi but insisted on an apology to Zheng Shuyi.

It was only after Shi Yan took Zheng Shuyi away that Yue Xingzhou began to question the incident with Qin Lezhi's "uncle." He had misunderstood Shi Yan as Qin Lezhi's uncle before and was willing to abandon Zheng Shuyi for his future. However, Qin Lezhi denied misleading Yue Xingzhou and instead accused him of baseless imagination.

Shi Yan initially intended to ask Zheng Shuyi for an explanation about the day's events, but Zheng Shuyi, feeling remorse for flirting with the wrong person, naturally didn't provide much clarification. At this moment, Zheng Shuyi received a call from Qin Shiyue and promptly agreed to her invitation to soak in hot springs. On the way to meet Qin Shiyue, Zheng Shuyi called Bi Ruoshan for advice. She genuinely liked Shi Yan now and was afraid that he would leave her after discovering her deception. Although she wanted to explain, Bi Ruoshan suggested that Zheng Shuyi hide the truth and continue the current pace of her relationship with Shi Yan.

After meeting Zheng Shuyi, Qin Shiyue learned that she was now giving up on pursuing the uncle of the third party. Qin Shiyue suggested introducing her own "uncle" to Zheng Shuyi, even though Zheng Shuyi declined. However, Qin Shiyue tried to match Shi Yan and Zheng Shuyi, intentionally informing Shi Yan about Zheng Shuyi's emotional setback, hoping he would take advantage of the opportunity.

Leaving the hot spring hotel, Zheng Shuyi unexpectedly met Shi Yan, who rushed there. At this moment, Zheng Shuyi also learned that Qin Shiyue was actually Shi Yan's niece. Shi Yan, asking about Zheng Shuyi's emotional setback, made her feel uneasy. Shi Yan sent away Qin Shiyue, once again questioning Zheng Shuyi about her emotional problems. Zheng Shuyi had to make up reasons, explaining that she had misunderstood Shi Yan's relationship with Qin Shiyue before, thinking they were a couple. Shi Yan, domineeringly, asked whether Zheng Shuyi liked him or her ex-boyfriend. Although Zheng Shuyi expressed her liking for Shi Yan, he still hoped she would only like him. Shi Yan knew Zheng Shuyi was hiding something, but regardless of her intentions, he wanted her to tell the truth.

Master Fan came to apologize to Shi Yan, feeling sorry for his niece Qin Lezhi for ruining Zheng Shuyi and Yue Xingzhou's relationship. He mentioned that Qin Lezhi admitted her mistake and broke up with Yue Xingzhou. Shi Yan asked Master Fan about the misunderstanding with Yue Xingzhou, and he realized Yue Xingzhou abandoned Zheng Shuyi because he believed Shi Yan was Qin Lezhi's uncle. Connecting the dots, Shi Yan speculated that Zheng Shuyi might be approaching him for revenge on her ex-boyfriend. To verify his suspicion, Shi Yan found Qin Lezhi, and with a few words, confirmed that Zheng Shuyi had indeed deceived him.

After contemplating, Zheng Shuyi decided to confess to Shi Yan. She arranged to meet him at the aquarium the next day. Qin Shiyue, suffering from stomach pain in the middle of the night, was promptly taken to the hospital by Shi Yan.

Shi Yan suggested that Qin Shiyue rest for a while after finishing the IV drip and then return to Jiangcheng, but Qin Shiyue didn't want to go back immediately, especially not to work right away. Shi Yan, because of Qin Shiyue's illness, allowed her to choose to recover at home. Yu You, upon seeing the sick photo sent by Qin Shiyue, hurried to the hospital to visit her. However, he coincidentally passed by just as Qin Shiyue was leaving.

Early in the morning, Zheng Shuyi arrived at the aquarium to wait for Shi Yan, but the agreed-upon time had passed, and Shi Yan still hadn't shown up. On his way back to Jiangcheng, Shi Yan decided to return and, from a distance, watched Zheng Shuyi waiting for him at the aquarium. When Zheng Shuyi called to ask why Shi Yan didn't come to the aquarium, his response, "Accompany her in acting," made Zheng Shuyi realize that Shi Yan already knew about her deception.

Feeling lost, Zheng Shuyi returned home. Her parents noticed that their daughter was troubled but didn't know the specific issue. Shuyi's mother consoled her, suggesting that if it was a work problem, she could seek help from Shuyi's father. If work became unbearable, she could resign and return home, as her parents could support her. Regarding relationship issues, her mother advised her to endure and move on; Shuyi was still young and would meet someone more suitable in the future. Although Zheng Shuyi admitted her mistake, her mother believed that time brings hope and that there was still a chance for everything.

Yi Yang confirmed Zheng Shuyi's address from a campaign post her mother had shared and went to her house with a gift. Zheng Shuyi's mother thought Yi Yang was the boyfriend making her daughter upset, so she gave him advice on how to cheer her up. Zheng Shuyi's mother even went out to give them some space. In an attempt to pursue Zheng Shuyi, Yi Yang prepared a meal for her. Although he didn't hide his intention to come to Qing'an for Zheng Shuyi, he made it clear that a romantic relationship between them was unlikely.

After dinner, Yi Yang had Zheng Shuyi take him to her high school, but the school was closed, and they couldn't enter. Yi Yang had hoped to use the opportunity to learn about Zheng Shuyi's past. Although he discovered that Zheng Shuyi did have someone in her heart, Yi Yang expressed that he wouldn't give up on pursuing her.

Seeing from the social media that Bi Ruoshan fell ill during the New Year, Guan Ji worried and went to her hometown. Bi Ruoshan, helping her cousin choose a wedding dress, was taken away by Guan Ji. Guan Ji misunderstood their relationship and didn't want Bi Ruoshan to marry the other person. He confessed his feelings for her, explaining that his parents' divorce in childhood made him believe that marriage isn't the endpoint of every relationship and that every relationship would eventually wither. He had been following the rules of their game with Bi Ruoshan, afraid that going further would make him lose her. After being rejected by Bi Ruoshan last time, he realized their relationship and wanted to establish an emotionally secure connection with her. He was willing to give up his most precious things for a chance to be with Bi Ruoshan. Seeing Guan Ji finally willing to open up, Bi Ruoshan, while not agreeing to marry him, hoped they could start a new relationship from the beginning of love.

After the New Year, Zheng Shuyi, feeling down due to her recent breakup, sought comfort from Bi Ruoshan. Bi Ruoshan analyzed that Shi Yan was indeed upset about Zheng Shuyi getting close to him not because of him but another person. Now, Shi Yan was unwilling to contact Zheng Shuyi in his anger. Bi Ruoshan consoled Zheng Shuyi, suggesting that time might heal Shi Yan's anger. Zheng Shuyi stayed overnight at Bi Ruoshan's house and discovered her friend was in a romantic relationship. To avoid disturbing her friend's life, she made up an excuse to return home.

Responding to reader demands, Zheng Shuyi interviewed Yi Yang again. Yi Yang proposed creating a special feature on Zheng Shuyi as a returnee entrepreneur. He could also help introduce a few interviewees. Zheng Shuyi had already considered this idea and was very willing to proceed with it.

Qin Shiyue expressed that the thoughts of men and women are completely different. There may be misunderstandings between Xiaojiujiu (Shi Yan) and Shuyi Jie (Zheng Shuyi). Sometimes, girls are unwilling to express their inner thoughts precisely because they care. Shi Yan believes that for a relationship to last, both parties must be honest. In love, one cannot achieve anything through unconditional compromise or self-sacrifice. Before pursuing love, one should clarify their life goals and then determine who to spend their life with. After hearing Shi Yan's words, Qin Shiyue was unsure if she and Yu You were on the same wavelength. Upon receiving a message from Yu You, Qin Shiyue politely declined his offer to accompany her for vaccination.

Yi Yang introduced several entrepreneurs who had recently returned to China to Zheng Shuyi. Zheng Shuyi interviewed these overseas returnees, compiled a new article, and received high praise from Yu You after he saw it. Qin Shiyue, after reading the article, also found her life goals.

Qin Shiyue returned to listen to lectures at the university again. During class, Yu You noticed Qin Shiyue interacting with a male student next to her and felt a bit jealous. After class, he not only asked and explained knowledge points that Qin Shiyue didn't understand but also invited her to have lunch in the cafeteria. Even when students misunderstood their relationship on the way, Yu You didn't explain much. Professor Li visited Yue An, appreciating the research environment but suggesting that his lab might not be of great help. He recommended collaboration with a rising star instead, as it would solve all problems.

In the 29th episode of "Building Love," Yi Yang invited Zheng Shuyi to attend EM's charity dinner. Zheng Shuyi learned that Shi Yan would also be attending and agreed to Yi Yang's invitation. That night, when Zheng Shuyi arrived at the dinner, she saw Shi Yan, and the two exchanged glances but did not approach each other. Shi Yan's ex-girlfriend, Beilin, came to find him, and Zheng Shuyi mistakenly thought they were getting back together, feeling jealous and consoling herself with alcohol.

Beilin regretted breaking up with Shi Yan and hoped to rekindle their relationship, but Shi Yan believed that once a relationship is missed, it's gone. He already has someone else in his heart. On the other hand, Yi Yang asked Zheng Shuyi why she couldn't give him a chance. Zheng Shuyi said she liked someone else and couldn't be with him because of her own issues.

In haste to find Zheng Shuyi after saying goodbye to Beilin, Shi Yan discovered a drunken Zheng Shuyi preparing to climb a tree with Yi Yang. Worried about her, Shi Yan tried to comfort her and get her down from the tree. However, the intoxicated Zheng Shuyi wanted Shi Yan to coax her and playfully bit him. Shi Yan told Yi Yang that whatever Zheng Shuyi wanted, he would give it to her, and Zheng Shuyi just wanted it from him.

Shi Yan took Zheng Shuyi back to the car. She complained about missing him, and although Shi Yan was concerned about whether Zheng Shuyi liked him, he still took the initiative to add her on WeChat. The next day, Zheng Shuyi woke up, not remembering that Shi Yan had taken her home. Yi Yang still hadn't given up chasing her, which left Zheng Shuyi feeling troubled.

Cloud Creation's special topic manuscript by Xu Yuling was rejected by Tang Yi. Thinking that Zheng Shuyi was indirectly causing her trouble, Xu Yuling, feeling resentful, accused Zheng Shuyi of using special means. Frustrated, Zheng Shuyi had dinner with Bi Ruoshan, who had heard that Yi Yang was pursuing Zheng Shuyi and highly recommended the young and enthusiastic Yi Yang.

Learning that Yi Yang was actively pursuing Zheng Shuyi, Shi Yan was troubled and went to drink with Guan Ji. Guan Ji advised Shi Yan to take the initiative to clarify things with Zheng Shuyi. However, Shi Yan believed that if Zheng Shuyi didn't contact him first, that was the answer. Bi Ruoshan called Guan Ji and unexpectedly learned that Guan Ji was drinking with Shi Yan. Although she found out that Shi Yan was troubled over a relationship, she also stated that Zheng Shuyi had no interest in Yi Yang and was currently focusing on her career.

Shi Yan looked at the information of Qin Shiyue and couldn't let go of Zheng Shuyi in his heart. Disregarding the heavy rain, he drove alone to Zheng Shuyi's apartment. Unexpectedly, he saw Zheng Shuyi preparing to go out with an umbrella. Upon inquiry, he learned that Zheng Shuyi was sick and needed to go to the hospital. Shi Yan took the initiative to offer a ride to accompany Zheng Shuyi to the hospital. Zheng Shuyi didn't know why Shi Yan appeared downstairs in her home, but she felt that she had no right to question him and could only reluctantly shed tears.

At the hospital, Zheng Shuyi needed to have a blood test, and she was afraid of the pain and the blood draw. Shi Yan, caring for her, covered her eyes, making Zheng Shuyi once again feel Shi Yan's thoughtfulness. Zheng Shuyi never expected to be in the hospital today, but Shi Yan believed that if there were no deceptions between them, Zheng Shuyi should be at his home now.

Qin Shiyue told Yu You that she planned to pursue a part-time postgraduate degree at Finance University and asked if Yu You had time to help her with her studies. Yu You was naturally very willing. Yu You prepared a necklace as a gift for Qin Shiyue, and the two of them spent a memorable Valentine's Day together.

After the doctor prescribed medicine, Shi Yan sent Zheng Shuyi home. Zheng Shuyi fell asleep in the car due to fatigue. Fiona called Shi Yan, thinking that Shi Yan would join her and a chip expert for dinner, but Shi Yan did not directly agree. Upon waking up, Zheng Shuyi overheard their conversation and asked Shi Yan if he would keep the appointment tomorrow. Although Zheng Shuyi did not want Shi Yan to go, when asked about the reason, she did not directly answer. Instead, she told Shi Yan that the Chinese almanac showed that tomorrow was not suitable for travel, disappointing Shi Yan.

Qin Shiyue called Zheng Shuyi to report back to work, and when she learned that Zheng Shuyi was receiving intravenous therapy at the hospital, she informed Shi Yan. Concerned, Shi Yan hurriedly came to the hospital to accompany Zheng Shuyi. Upon waking up, Zheng Shuyi found Shi Yan by her side. Faced with Zheng Shuyi's inquiry, Shi Yan expressed that Zheng Shuyi was his biggest disaster. Zheng Shuyi coquettishly claimed that she couldn't walk due to dizziness, so Shi Yan had no choice but to carry her princess-style and take her away from the hospital.

On the way home, Zheng Shuyi admitted that for a long time, she had been acting in front of Shi Yan. Gradually, she got used to acting in front of him, and she didn't know when the fake feelings turned into real ones. Although their beginning was not perfect, she genuinely liked him and wanted a perfect outcome. After hearing Zheng Shuyi's confession, Shi Yan, without explicitly forgiving her, told her that everything depended on her actions.

Upon returning home, Zheng Shuyi remembered that she had deleted Shi Yan's WeChat. She asked Qin Shiyue to send Shi Yan's WeChat to her. After adding Shi Yan back, Zheng Shuyi asked him about his ideal girlfriend. Shi Yan described her as quiet, serious, and upright. Zheng Shuyi thought that she fit Shi Yan's ideal type, but Shi Yan showed her screenshots of her previous cheesy pick-up lines, making Zheng Shuyi extremely embarrassed.

Tian Dong and Zhang Dong persuaded Shi Yan to withdraw his investment from Le'an, but Shi Yan believed that withdrawing now was not a good choice. He stated that he and Chen Kang would resolve Le'an's issues as soon as possible. Yi Yang invited Zheng Shuyi to dinner, and she accepted the invitation because she had something to discuss with him. Despite Yi Yang's unwillingness to give up on pursuing Zheng Shuyi, she made it clear that regardless of her relationship with Shi Yan, she and Yi Yang had no chance. Even if Yi Yang didn't give up on pursuing her, she wouldn't change her mind.

Guan Xiangcheng and his son Guan Ji drank together. Guan Xiangcheng blamed himself for not showing enough affection to Guan Ji when he was young, leading to his son's emotional deficiency. Guan Ji expressed that since meeting Bi Ruoshan, he suddenly understood what he wanted. Now that their relationship was stable, he would work hard and also focus on dating. Guan Xiangcheng was pleased with his son's growth. Guan Ji learned that Tang Yi had concerns and was reluctant to enter Guan Xiangcheng's social circle. He hoped that his father could talk to Tang Yi. Guan Xiangcheng conveyed this to Tang Yi, but she did not directly agree, expressing her concerns.

Qin Lezhi arranged an interview opportunity at Cloud Innovation for Yue Xingzhou. Full of confidence, Yue Xingzhou came for the interview, only to be spotted by Shi Yan coincidentally. Shi Yan took the initiative to appear at the interview scene, making Yue Xingzhou even more nervous, and the interview did not go well.

Zheng Shuyi continued to be in charge of Cloud Innovation's special reports. On the weekend, she went to Cloud Innovation to work overtime with Shi Yan. However, upon arrival, she found that Shi Yan was too busy to notice her. Shi Yan, aware of Zheng Shuyi's boredom, asked Chen Sheng to help order two movie tickets and accompanied Zheng Shuyi to watch a movie.

Shi Yan and Zheng Shuyi went to the movies, unexpectedly running into Fiona. Seeing Fiona being very familiar with Shi Yan, Zheng Shuyi felt jealous and occasionally displayed possessiveness in front of Fiona. After the movie, Fiona invited Shi Yan to dinner, but he declined, citing Zheng Shuyi's shyness.

When Shi Yan saw that Yi Yang had invited Zheng Shuyi to dinner, although Zheng Shuyi declined the invitation, Shi Yan still felt a bit jealous. Zheng Shuyi clarified that she, Yi Yang, and Yu You were just ordinary friends. The encounter at the luggage store was a coincidence, and they never went on a date together. Shi Yan learned that Zheng Shuyi bought luggage for a business trip and asked her to send him the hotel and flight information.

Le'an was in disarray, and morale was low. Chen Kang also found it challenging. Shi Yan told Chen Kang that only a clear-headed and resolute manager could stabilize the morale. He believed that Chen Kang would lead Le'an through this difficult time. Shi Yan also confessed that both Cloud Innovation and Le'an were young and would face challenges but should not be afraid of falling. Encouraged by Shi Yan, Chen Kang regained confidence.

Qin Shiyue returned to work at the financial magazine, and Zheng Shuyi asked her to accompany her on a business trip. They smoothly completed the interview and then explored the scenic spots of Qionghai together. Shi Yan, learning that Zheng Shuyi was traveling with Qin Shiyue after finishing work, reluctantly expressed his longing for Zheng Shuyi.

Due to a work mistake, Yue Xingzhou was dismissed, and he drowned his sorrows in alcohol while missing Zheng Shuyi. Qin Lezhi, visiting Yue Xingzhou's home, found that he couldn't let go of Zheng Shuyi. She accused Yue Xingzhou of being ungrateful, believing that his true love was only for money and prospects—whoever could provide them, he would love.

Qin Lezhi resigned from Cloud Innovation. In the elevator, she coincidentally met Shi Yan and told him about her ex-boyfriend Yue Xingzhou still thinking about Zheng Shuyi. Shi Yan admitted to having a bad personality and warned that if Qin Lezhi kept pestering him, he would settle old and new accounts on behalf of Zheng Shuyi.

Busy with work, Shi Yan had Master Fan pick up Zheng Shuyi from the airport. When Master Fan left, he unexpectedly saw the drunken Yue Xingzhou looking for Zheng Shuyi. After giving him a beating, Master Fan informed Shi Yan about the situation. Shi Yan rushed to the scene and witnessed Yue Xingzhou expressing regret for letting go of Zheng Shuyi. He brought Zheng Shuyi into the house and kissed her passionately, asking her to wait for him at home while he attended to work. After leaving, Shi Yan encountered Yue Xingzhou and warned him not to appear in front of Zheng Shuyi. If he saw Yue Xingzhou bothering Zheng Shuyi again, he couldn't guarantee what he might do. Yue Xingzhou left hastily due to Shi Yan's warning.

After finishing work, Shi Yan returned home. Zheng Shuyi noticed that Shi Yan's personality had completely changed after getting drunk. Shi Yan, calling Zheng Shuyi "baby" affectionately, expressed that Zheng Shuyi liked him regardless of his appearance. The intoxicated Shi Yan intentionally bit Zheng Shuyi as evidence.

After sobering up, Shi Yan planned to leave Zheng Shuyi's home. Before parting, Zheng Shuyi changed the nickname in Shi Yan's phone to her preferred name. The next morning, Qin Shiyue, while having breakfast, unexpectedly saw a call on Shi Yan's phone displaying "Darling Little Baby." She teased Shi Yan for being overly affectionate with his niece. Faced with family inquiries, Shi Yan confessed that it was a call from his girlfriend and promised to bring her home another day.

Tang Yi noticed Zheng Shuyi's good mood after returning from her business trip and learned that she was dating again. Tang Yi advised her not to let any relationship interfere with her work. Zheng Shuyi inquired about Tang Yi's love life and encouraged her to move forward if she had someone she liked. Guan Ji took the initiative to meet Tang Yi and revealed that Guan Xiangcheng cared deeply about her. Guan Ji sensed Tang Yi's fear of being unable to repay the emotional debt to Guan Xiangcheng once they were together. Guan Ji assured Tang Yi that their father owed him nothing, offering love and the best education. Now, Guan Xiangcheng wanted to give love to Tang Yi, and as his son, Guan Ji hoped Tang Yi would give his father a chance. After the conversation with Guan Ji, Tang Yi pondered a lot and promised to give Guan Xiangcheng an emotional explanation.

The Black Horse Technology team was not mature enough, and Bruce encountered some issues that required time and assistance to resolve. After contemplating, Yi Yang approached Chen Kang to discuss the acquisition of Le'an. Despite Chen Kang's aversion to Le'an being acquired by Black Horse, Yi Yang expressed that putting aside past grievances and cooperating could secure the future and opportunities.

Shi Yan came to pick up Zheng Shuyi after work but was redirected by her to pick up Bi Ruoshan, who was returning from a business trip. At the airport, Zheng Shuyi found out that Song Le Lan was also there. In a hurry to take a photo with her idol, Zheng Shuyi left Shi Yan puzzled. Finally, Zheng Shuyi fulfilled her wish to take a photo with Song Le Lan, posing as a fan. After Song Le Lan left, Zheng Shuyi and Bi Ruoshan gossiped about Song Le Lan's private life, with Zheng Shuyi refusing to believe rumors about her secret marriage and child. She even made a bet that she would perform on the spot if those rumors turned out to be true.

Zheng Shuyi felt fortunate that Shi Yan, after overcoming deception and lies, was still by her side. She worried that one day Shi Yan might suddenly wake up and want to change his life path, and she feared he might leave her. She shared her concerns with Shi Yan, urging him not to deceive her because being deceived felt terrible. Zheng Shuyi expressed that she genuinely liked Shi Yan now, and it had nothing to do with any script. Shi Yan understood Zheng Shuyi's insecurity about their relationship and assured her that the past was behind them. Zheng Shuyi was now his girlfriend, and their relationship was no different from any other couple.

On a special evening, Shi Yan specifically came to pick up Zheng Shuyi after work. Thoughtfully, he bought her favorite coffee and presented her with a Valentine's Day gift. Zheng Shuyi lamented that they had missed New Year and Spring Festival due to misunderstandings but teased Shi Yan for only giving her a Valentine's Day gift. The next morning, Shi Yan gave Zheng Shuyi additional gifts, making her very happy.

After finishing work in the evening, Shi Yan accompanied Zheng Shuyi to dinner. On the way, a young girl deliberately spilled something on Shi Yan's clothes and asked for his contact information when he picked them up from the airport, making Zheng Shuyi jealous. Shi Yan's sister, Song Le Lan, called to inquire about Qin Shiyue's whereabouts. Upon learning that Shi Yan was having dinner with his girlfriend, she wanted Zheng Shuyi to greet her but didn't realize that Zheng Shuyi had no idea she was her idol, Song Le Lan. Politely, Zheng Shuyi declined the invitation to say hello. After dinner, Zheng Shuyi asked Shi Yan about his sister's situation and found out that she didn't work at Mingyu but spent her time singing and dancing.

Zheng Shuyi praised Qin Shiyue's financial reports, and Qin Shiyue attributed her progress to the good teachings of her niece, Zheng Shuyi. Upon hearing their conversation, Xu Yuling inquired about Qin Shiyue's niece's identity, mistakenly believing that Zheng Shuyi was dating an older wealthy man. Upset by the rumors, Zheng Shuyi confronted Xu Yuling, accusing her of plagiarism and spreading false rumors about her. Although Xu Yuling acknowledged their past grievances, she denied spreading the rumors.

Zheng Shuyi witnessed Xu Yuling's denial of spreading rumors, so she presented screenshots as evidence. Unable to grab Zheng Shuyi's phone, Xu Yuling had no choice but to leave. While chasing her, Zheng Shuyi accidentally got her palm hit by a security door. Privately, Xu Yuling found Mrs. Qiu's contact and falsely claimed an ambiguous relationship between Zheng Shuyi and Mrs. Qiu's husband. However, Mrs. Qiu corrected her, stating that Zheng Shuyi was dating Shi Yan.

After tending to her injured hand, Zheng Shuyi returned to the company. She approached Tang Yi, expressing her tolerance for Xu Yuling's actions like stealing outlines and interviews but emphasized her intolerance for false rumors about her private life. Zheng Shuyi demanded an explanation from Xu Yuling. Tang Yi advised Zheng Shuyi to rest at home, assuring her that they would discuss the matter with the chief editor.

Feeling wronged, Zheng Shuyi went to find Shi Yan. Taking advantage of her injured hand, she playfully requested him to carry her bag, feed her, and take care of her. Shi Yan agreed to Zheng Shuyi's unreasonable requests, also feeling sympathetic towards her injury. He suggested that Zheng Shuyi move in with him. The research on the chip at Le'an made no progress, and Shi Yan hoped that Chen Kang would consider Professor Li's suggestions. However, Chen Kang insisted on not giving up Le'an, considering it his hard work. After consulting with the chief editor, Tang Yi decided to transfer Xu Yuling to the education section. Dissatisfied with the company's decision, Xu Yuling resigned, expressing her intention to find a more suitable place for herself.

Shi Yan helped Zheng Shuyi pack her luggage and took her home. Once home, Shi Yan personally cooked dinner for Zheng Shuyi. When Zheng Shuyi requested to be fed, Shi Yan reluctantly fed her, and later he also fed her fruits. Shi Yan even offered to help Zheng Shuyi with her hair when she prepared to take a bath and sleep, teasing her playfully.

After bathing, Zheng Shuyi realized that she still needed Shi Yan's help. She sought help again, asking Shi Yan to fasten her bra, creating a somewhat awkward situation for both of them. Sharing a room for the first time, Zheng Shuyi was initially a bit nervous but eventually fell asleep hugging Shi Yan, leaving him feeling helpless.

Unable to travel due to taking care of Zheng Shuyi, Shi Yan had Guan Ji replace him on a business trip. Hearing about Zheng Shuyi's injury, Bi Ruoshan called to comfort her. Bi Ruoshan learned that Zheng Shuyi had moved into Shi Yan's house but clarified that nothing happened between them, expressing concern for Zheng Shuyi.

Because of her injured hand, Zheng Shuyi couldn't work, so Shi Yan asked Qin Shiyue to help. With Qin Shiyue's assistance, Zheng Shuyi successfully completed her tasks. However, when Shi Yan returned home, he asked Qin Shiyue to leave, wanting to enjoy some private time with Zheng Shuyi. Feeling unsure of her appeal to Shi Yan, Zheng Shuyi occasionally tried to charm him. She even wore a sexy nightgown but was surprised that Shi Yan remained unfazed, leaving Zheng Shuyi disheartened.

One day, Shi Yan unexpectedly saw the WeChat conversation between Zheng Shuyi and Bi Ruoshan. He was shocked to learn that Zheng Shuyi doubted her own attractiveness to him. Indifferent to Zheng Shuyi's injured hand, Shi Yan chose to spend a pleasant night together with her. When Yi Yang came to the financial section looking for Zheng Shuyi, he discovered she was injured. He called her, and when Shi Yan saw Yi Yang calling Zheng Shuyi, he felt jealous. Shi Yan intentionally made Yi Yang aware that he and Zheng Shuyi were living together.

Chen Kang read Zheng Shuyi's financial reports and felt sorry for the crisis and burden brought to Yunchuang due to Le'an's issues. He decided to carefully consider the cooperation between Le'an and Black Horse. Shi Yan found Fiona and inquired about the feasibility of Le'an and Black Horse's collaboration without an acquisition. Fiona believed that the subsequent collaboration between the two companies would be very complex. However, seeing Shi Yan's willingness to try, she promised to take care of the legal and cooperation details.

Worried that the newly published article might trouble Shi Yan, Zheng Shuyi received special attention from him when she returned home. Shi Yan, upon learning about Zheng Shuyi's guilt, consoled her, stating that the article might bring new opportunities to Yunchuang.

Shi Yan obtained Yi Yang's contact information from Zheng Shuyi and met him to persuade him to abandon the acquisition of Le'an. Shi Yan believed that Le'an and Black Horse each had their advantages and plans, and a simple acquisition would not be the best choice for both parties. Le'an was committed to developing domestic chips continuously and could not accept Black Horse's acquisition. Shi Yan persuaded Yi Yang to consider collaboration for joint research and development, breaking through technical challenges together and sharing honors and achievements. He emphasized that technology could be continuously upgraded, ensuring mutual success in the current stage and the ability to compete in the next stage.

Upon seeing the viral photos of her idol, Song Le Lan, embracing Qin Xiaoming, Zheng Shuyi learned about Qin Shiyue's accident. She hurried to the hospital to visit Qin Shiyue, discovering that her injuries were only superficial. Zheng Shuyi then informed Shi Yan of the entertainment news and jokingly complained about her idol having rumors with her boyfriend's brother-in-law. Unexpectedly, Song Le Lan appeared at the hospital, revealing that Shi Yan's sister-in-law was Song Le Lan.

Qin Shiyue apologized to her mother, Song Le Lan, for the exposure of her hidden marriage due to the accident news. However, Song Le Lan prioritized her husband and daughter above all else. The driver who caused the accident came to apologize to Qin Shiyue, who accused him of violating traffic rules by answering the phone while driving, demanding him to take responsibility. Upon learning about Qin Shiyue's accident, Yu You also rushed to the hospital to visit. Qin Xiaoming and Song Le Lan were pleasantly surprised that their daughter was willingly studying under Yu You, thinking he was just her teacher.

Zheng Shuyi apologized to Song Le Lan for her previous comments. Song Le Lan did not blame Zheng Shuyi. After escorting Song Le Lan, Zheng Shuyi became angry with Shi Yan, accusing him of concealing his sibling relationship with Song Le Lan. Upset, Zheng Shuyi prepared to return home but realized she forgot her keys. She ended up reluctantly following Shi Yan home.

To appease Zheng Shuyi, Shi Yan cooked a special meal for her. For the sake of good food, Zheng Shuyi forgave Shi Yan. However, Shi Yan refused to admit that he had concealed Song Le Lan's relationship as his sister-in-law and claimed that Zheng Shuyi had rejected his suggestion to greet Song Le Lan earlier. Frustrated, Zheng Shuyi locked Shi Yan out of the bedroom. When Shi Yan entered the room with the key, he kissed Zheng Shuyi to soothe her anger.

Guan Ji brought Bi Ruoshan to the hospital to visit Qin Shiyue. Seeing the affection between the two, Qin Shiyue teased them about the white cabbage being claimed by the pig. Back at work, Zheng Shuyi found everyone discussing the gossip about Qin Shiyue being Song Le Lan's daughter. Tang Yi instructed Zheng Shuyi to start preparing to establish a multimedia team. Confident in her abilities, Zheng Shuyi believed she could create a multimedia team that readers worldwide would love.

In the end, Yi Yang decided to let Black Horse and Le'an collaborate. He specifically invited Zheng Shuyi to do an interview praising him for his courage, innovation, and leadership. However, Zheng Shuyi believed she was not the best candidate for this interview and persuaded Yi Yang to let other colleagues handle it.

Zheng Shuyi's mother remained unconvinced that Shi Yan was her daughter's boyfriend, thinking it was a staged act. While Zheng Shuyi was bathing, her mother unexpectedly called. Shi Yan answered the phone, and after Zheng Shuyi finished bathing, she learned that her mother was now aware of Shi Yan's existence. Zheng Shuyi promised her mother that if she had a break on Labor Day, she would go home with Shi Yan.

Shi Yan took Zheng Shuyi home to meet his parents. He introduced Zheng Shuyi to his father and sister with great seriousness. His father and sister, Song Le Lan, liked Zheng Shuyi a lot. One day, when Zheng Shuyi took the initiative to cook for Shi Yan, she was surprised to find Shi Yan bringing his mother home. Confused, she learned that Shi Yan and his mother coincidentally met at the airport and recognized each other from photos. After having a meal, Shi Yan's mother saw how well Shi Yan treated Zheng Shuyi and left with peace of mind. After her mother left, Zheng Shuyi found out that her mother didn't specifically come to visit her. She was just passing by Qing'an during her Southeast Asia trip and decided to visit her daughter, leaving Zheng Shuyi speechless.

Tian Dong and Zhang Dong were unhappy that Shi Yan facilitated the collaboration between Le'an and Black Horse. They also disapproved of Black Horse benefiting from Le'an's research results. They approached Shi Yan's father, hoping he could make a decision and also suggested having Qin Xiaoming take over Yunchuang's management.

Yunchuang faced multiple doubts, and media reporters hoped Shi Yan would speak about his views on the collaboration between Le'an and Black Horse. However, Shi Yan declined all media invitations. Zheng Shuyi called Chen Sheng to interview Shi Yan on this matter, and he informed her that Shi Yan refused all media invitations to avoid putting both companies in a precarious situation during the crucial collaboration period between Le'an and Black Horse, preventing any potential negative impact on the collaboration.

Zheng Shuyi realized the immense pressure Shi Yan was under, but she still comforted him when he returned home, hoping he would convey some thoughts to the media. Zheng Shuyi believed that words had attitudes, and readers had thoughts; she did not want Shi Yan to bear everything alone. Shi Yan expressed that he wasn't against media interviews but wanted to avoid more controversies at this stage. He believed that once the chip technology breakthrough occurred, everyone would realize that their choice was not wrong.

Due to other media reports on Yunchuang, Tang Yi wanted someone from the financial department to follow up on the news. Zheng Shuyi volunteered for this interview. Later, Zheng Shuyi proactively interviewed people like Yi Yang and Chen Kang, expressing her views on the collaboration between Le'an and Black Horse. Readers gradually understood Shi Yan's actions through Zheng Shuyi's interview. Shi Yan also thanked Zheng Shuyi for the report, agreeing to her request for a special interview. Because of Zheng Shuyi's report, Tian Dong and Zhang Dong changed their views on Shi Yan and were willing to let him operate Yunchuang.

The multimedia business began to take shape, and Tang Yi assigned this project to Zheng Shuyi. She had hoped to compete for the position of multimedia team leader. With full confidence, she prepared a performance report, thinking she would secure the team leader position. However, the chief editor ultimately believed Zheng Shuyi was too young and rejected her promotion, leaving her very disappointed.

When Shi Yan picked up Zheng Shuyi after work and saw her feeling down for not becoming the team leader, he kissed her to boost her spirits. As autumn turned to winter, the first snow in Qing'an arrived as scheduled. Zheng Shuyi loved the snow, believing that people together during the first snow would stay together for a lifetime.

Qin Shiyue successfully joined the financial department, and Zheng Shuyi encouraged her to become an excellent journalist. Qin Shiyue enthusiastically shared this news with Yu You, but unexpectedly, she encountered her little uncle and Guan Ji at Yu You's place. Shi Yan witnessed Qin Shiyue and Yu You showing affection in front of him for the first time, teasing Yu You as "Little Uncle."

Le'an Technology and Black Horse Technology made a significant breakthrough in the millimeter-wave chip field, and Yunchuang's investment was successful. A year later, at the tenth financial news awards ceremony, Zheng Shuyi won the award, and Shi Yan accompanied her to receive it. At Le'an Technology's seventh-anniversary appreciation banquet, Chen Kang specially thanked Shi Yan for extending a helping hand during Le'an's most difficult times.
